I love the spoke look but now that I have the Speedmaster with alloy I love the ease of cleaning by comparison. Also like stated above you can simply plug a flat and air it up to be back on your way with mags,spokes make the repair more involved as you have to patch the tube.

I don't know if this is a common problem or if we just got a bad wheel but Wendys front wheel is showing a couple very small spots of rust. They clean up so it isn't noticeable but it bothers me. Alloy won't rust, if you get any corrosion you can buy a kit made for alloy car wheels to strip them then you polish them back to where you want and apply the wheel coating that also comes in the kit. Spokes you would need to rechrome or paint/powder coat the wheels.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
