Anyone on here had an issue (yet?).
My spokes are on their way both front and rear. Caliper bolts are clearly furred all round and caliper banjos are like a fine sand paper feel. Rear disc seems to have deep ingrained black spots that I can't clean off. 2 rhs head bolts are now a dim silver as opposed to the original black. So, anyone had wheels etc issues?
 
I saw red AT with the black wheels and the owner had put black spokes over the spokes and they actually looked ok, covered up the corrosion .
 
You really haven’t already heard about the spoke problem?
Its probably the only “ major “ consistent issue they have.

The new model has stainless steel spokes

Yes I have, extensively. I was just wondering how folk here were finding it? I believe also that from April the spokes will stainless, so might hang on a little bit before enquiring. Pointless being without a bike on 2 occasions..lol
 
I’m going to wait till the end of my 3 year warranty and see how they are then . It’s no great shakes though as it’s only about £150 per wheel to have stainless ones fitted if you find it necessary . I have heard the April thing to though I guess phoning your dealer is the answer.
