Spokes

If you have a special rim you would like to use on a wheel build or you just want to upgrade the spokes on your existing wheel, then we can produce a custom cut spokes set for lacing the job.  We recommend selecting the Sapim Strong single butted 13-14g spokes for almost any hub motor build; they're thick 13g (2.3mm) at the bend where spokes are under the most stress but taper to 14g to fit a standard bicycle nipple.  We can also cut straight 13g spokes if you are replacing just a couple spokes on a wheel that is built using straight 13g spokes, as is the case with many chinese laced hub motors.

Please see our online Spoke Calculator for getting the required spoke length for a particular hub, rim, and cross pattern.
