XT660Z Spoke Wraps

Hi Guys here are some of those plastic spoke wraps purchased off an auction site, They are a pain to fit but does give the cruddy Tenere spokes a new lease of life before having to replace them with stainless.

Wow, they look great pal, multi colours. What a pig to fit though. think next time i will warm them up first in some hot water it may make them a little softer to snap over the spokes. By the way Tenere spokes suck as do most of the bolts and fixings.

Do them red and yellow - grab a big handful of drinking straws from McDonald's next time you are in...

My spokes have begun to rust slightly. I'm thinking of getting these as a barrier to stop water as well as look great. Any advice on what I should put on the spokes before putting the spoke coats on?
