Re: Stainless spokes, nuts and bolts

[CTDreher@aol.com]

I've used SS spokes on motorcycles for years and never had a problem.  Of
course, they don't take the pounding of a trike.

Antiseize is a must.  I torque everything once, run it, then comes back and
retorque.  Never had a loose spoke after the inital break-in.

BTW, there ARE high-stress SS bolts available (well, grade 8 anyway.)  Cost is
about $8 per bolt for a 3/8 x 2" NF.  Ouch.
