Title: David Silver spoke kits
Post by: Grewth on May 31, 2026, 04:49:47 PM

Anyone fitted the pattern replica spoke kits from  Silvers ?
What is your assessment of the quality and the durability of the finish please.
I know that Honda's originals were only plated steel,  but the finish lasted for years before they started rusting.
I don't want spend good money on something that will be rusting in twelve months time

Rims and spokes from DSS fitted May 2020.  Photos taken October 2025.

Many thanks for that  !
I'm only asking because I've aquired a pair of rims which although quite presentable, don't really justify the expense of fancy stainless spokes

I prefer the kits from Cmsnl.com as the nipples are the correct yellow cad as original.  A better look with contrast.

Thanks for that  !
TBH I didn't even know that CMSNL did spoke kits.
I have to confess to having a very negative attitude to CMSNL.
I found their website an absolute pig to navigate  (maybe that's just me).
Everything that I was trying to find was out of stock.
Then when I did finally find something that WAS in stock, and ordered it,  it turned out to be out of stock after all.
I won't be buying anything off them unless I'm absolutely desperate
