[Mgs] Wire wheel replacing spokes

[Dan DiBiase]

Do they check every spoke when they do the MOT? I can't imagine anyone in the US checking for something like that during our 'inspections'. Here in NJ, they don't evendo safety inspections any longer, just emissions testing.

Looking to a spare set of spokes (40 and 20) it seems a complete set becomes far too expensive.Am I right?  Cheers,  Hans Duinhoven71 BGT
