    I have a set of black rims, a set of black hubs and a set of silver spokes which would all go together to build a set of wheels for my Flyer. Would silver spokes look odd? Is this a massive asthetic faux pas?

    Looks alright. Depends on the nipples I suppose.

    That's what I've got. Everyone knows that silver spokes are faster 😆

    SO, they're not black hubs but i went with black rims, black nips but and silver spokes to be a bit different. Personaly I think they look great- everyone seems to have black spokes atm and i wanted to be different!!

    Apologies for crap picture phone quality btw

    I had black spokes years ago with black hubs and rims. I won't use black spokes again, they looked old quickly and silver looks better for longer in my opinion. Still have the hubs, but on different black rims and silver spokes, looks great

    I've built a black wheel with silver spokes. It looks good IMO.
