New rims & hubs but what colour spokes should I go for?

Hey guys,

Looking for some Zipp 404 track wheel inspiration & trying to decide whether to go with black or silver spokes, I currently have some 28x28 silver Zenith track hubs so I feel as if I’m warming more towards silver spokes instead!

If anyone has some Zipp track wheels that they have, I’d love to see some images for inspiration!

Regards,

Kyan

Silver.

silver spokes to match the hubs for sure

Silver spokes with silver hubs must surely be the law?

+1 silver

@Hulsroy is this forum's arbiter of good taste. He'll know the definitive answer

Always silver spokes. Especially on silver hubs. Coloured spokes rarely works on anything and black spokes makes handbuilt connoisseur's choice look like off the peg factory wheels imo.

Don't listen to these boring bastards.

I'm pleased to learn that all the wheels I've built look 'factory' :-)

I feel like silver is winning…

I like this wheelset but it’s way out of my price range!
