Title: Cheap spokes
Post by: ola_martin on May 04, 2014, 07:13:33 am

Has anyone tried the cheap spokekits on ebay?

Like: http://m.ebay.com/itm/360442652922?nav=SEARCH

Is it ok?

It will not be ridden in anger/raced, but needs to be able to be taken for a spin...

I have used them on a KT250 trials bike and they have been fine, but the thread forming is not as good as on OEM Japanese spokes
