Not only that, they are stronger. I talked with the engineers at Dayton,
and they say their painted wheels are stronger and stiffer than the chrome
ones. The stainless they use for spokes can not be be strung as tightly.
The painted steel spokes are stronger and the threads hold better allowing
tighter stringing.
Good news for me. Stronger and cheaper. Good news for Sue, who wanted
them to look more original.
