    I like 60's, as I think the 80's just look to "busy". Each to their own though. Either way a spoke rim is going to be a lot of work if you want to keep it pristine

    I agree I thought about getting 80 spoke but it looked abit much so went with the 60 spoke and I reckon it looks great. Takes abit to keep clean but 80 would be worse

    Pfft, 60 spoke. Go 80 or go home.

    Not hard to clean at all. Bit easier when they are powder coated but I put my bike on one of those repco bike lifts and sit on a computer chair and go to town.

    These aren't mammoth, just normal spokes that look a bit thicker because of the powder coating. I don't have any issues cleaning them, the white walls are what fuckin gets me. Don't like Lyndals either, too harsh on the discs.

    stock is 40, thats light especialy if you use alloy rim, even lighter. i'm wondering if having 80 holes in the rim it could eventually split in half?
