Titanium spokes

[kaiser]

What are your experiences with Ti spokes? Heard any horror stories? Fragile or flexible?

i ran ti-dye spokes for about 2 years on my Vit T and never had a problem

I ran Ti-dyed spokes for a short while...didn't really notice any difference, or had any problems. Admittedly only single-track stuff.

Cheers guys, do you know if they are any harder to build with?

I have five Ti spoked wheelsets and never had a problem with them.
I build them with some Ti prep in the nipples. Never had problem building them. Go for it.

They are a little more brittle when hit from the side. Shouldn't happen under normal riding conditions.

I had a pair of ti-die ti spokes on Ateks had to keep on having them re-trued after a couple of rides. Maybe down to the builder?? I'd like anther pair
