Is China dumping cheap spokes on America market? My Raleigh dealer told me my spokes keep breaking because China is dumping spokes made with cheap metal on American markets that rust from the inside.  I'm being charged $100 US dollars to swap Chinese spokes for American spokes on the front wheel only.  He says this is a problem across the country, but especially here in NE Florida.  What should I do?
The short answer is, "Find a dealer you trust."

Whether what he told you is right or wrong, you clearly believe he is having you on.

That will not result in a good relationship, no matter whether he is scamming you, or not.

Most likely, he is either poorly educated on the cause of the spokes breaking, and is having difficulty explaining something to you in an effective manner, and is therefore making stuff up, or he is having you on.

Either way, move on.
