Cruzin' Image Spokes?
I thought Cruzin'Image sold spoke sets? I did an ebay search for GT550 spokes and didn't find any from CI. Found a bunch of chrome sets from Thailand and a few overpriced OEM sets. Not even sure I want to change them out, but I thought I'd pick up a set if the price was right. Did I miss something?
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left.

Haven't seen any CI spoke sets Chris - and I bought a set of the Thai spokes but didn't like the look of them and used OEM.

Re: Cruzin' Image Spokes?
What was the issue with the Thai spokes? Undersize wire? Made from melted down tin cans? Lousy loose threads?

Thought I'd already replied to this but don't see it - so .....................
Suzuki spokes are butted and the Thai ones weren't - I didn't like how they laced up as they didn't seem a good fit at the hub end. Could just be me, as others have used them and not complained. Next time I will likely use Buchanan.
