Since the spokes are not steel, I hypothesize that they are not as consistent or elastic.


Steel spokes wear out, but it takes a good long time. The Zicral (or whatever) spokes are undoubtedly strong and durable, but impossibly as consistent as a steel spoke. In the real world, proponents show that this doesn't matter.
