Black spokes

WTF said:

Anyone know what sort of treatment is being applied to stainless steel
spokes to make them black? Is is just paint? Can't be anodizing - that's
for aluminum. How durable is this surface paint or surface treatment
proving to be?

Stainless steel has a thin film of oxide on the surface and can be
anodised, as can titanium, niobium and lots of other metals. However, I
don't know if that is what is done to the spokes.
