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 😆
I think it looks good.
Aye looks bettterer imo, also silver spokes don't fade to errrr silver 🙂
[i]Everyone knows that silver spokes are faster [/i]
But weaker, obviously.
How about this for a nice looking wheel..

its what i use, looks much nicer, and shiny too.
he said nipples...
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!!

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 have that very combo on my singular i loves it i do 😀
silver all the way
I'd go for silver on one side and black on the other.....

Black rims. Black hubs. Silver spokes. Black everything else
when you see how much DT black comps have gone upto then you will settle with silver ones! £77 a box ?????????
Silver show dirt more,an look cheap.....
I've built a black wheel with silver spokes. It looks good IMO.
