Do the labels show the same or different item number?. ...........lm

On the package is printed: "Spoke are replacements, not replicas. Some spokes may vary in length of bend or angle. When assembled and tensioned these spokes will bed and sit correctly in the hub.''

To me it seems impossible to use only 90 degree spokes???

Does anyone knows the right angle of the spokes? I read here 45 degrees but to me it looks a bit more. It's difficult to measure it.

I got a reaction from the shop:

"on the card with the spokes it says that the spokes are replacements and not replicas and that the spokes supplied will work - these will be GE spokes tat we use ourselves when building the wheel"

Has anyone tried this before, lacing up a honda cb 72/77 wheel with only 90 degree spokes?

In the meanwhile I received the vapourblasted parts and they look very nice!

If HONDA installed certain angle spokes ya can get that's what I'd use.
If the shop uses only 90 degree spokes with a CB72/77 rim I'd go elsewhere. ...........lm
