Hendrix believes they were older chrome spokes. As I have broken spokes oft=
en in the past, I have a Harbor Freight tire remover rig. Over the years, I=
have replaced spokes with stainless so I believe their strength puts exces=
s train on the chrome ones. I think I have now replaced 80% of the chrome o=
nes on that wheel. I don't drive hard or drive during pot hole season. Howe=
ver, going to CHW on interstate 5, I hit many "uneven" construction areas w=
ith considerable jolts. Usually, I have only had to replace one spoke ever =
year or two. Outer spokes are easy and I have never had to replace the inne=
r shorter ones.

I'm intrigued to hear of your broken spoke issue. I haven't experienced eve=

I=92m fortunate to live relatively close to Allen Hendrix at Hendrixwirewhe=

s. He does the spoke truing, balancing, and shaving and, as his website sa=

I know some folks send their wheels to him for the service: www.hendrixwir=

As I mentioned elsewhere what is shown is all very well for new wheels wit=
h new tyres however, in my experience, all wire wheels tend to go out of ro=
und over the years, probably because of uneven spoke tension when originall=
y built, and once that occurs no amount of balancing will resolve things.
The only solutions are:
1.Buy new wheels and tyres again. (Expensive)
2. Remove the tyres and have the wheels "trued" [an advanced skill], strip =
and repaint then remount new tyres, (Expensive and time consuming)
3. Shave the tyres as they are on the wheel. ( Inexpensive and remarkably e=
ffective).
4. Put up with the scuttle shake.
