Hi Fred,
I've had my 'B' for nearly 20 years, the last 8 of which sported chromed wires
(because I liked the way they looked).
I've seen friends loose wheels because they forgot to tighten the knock-off
after bleeding those brakes, but I've never had a problem.
I keep them well greased, change tires by hand and inspect for bent or broken
spokes regularly. After all, wires were the only way to go in early racing and
rallying.
