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 spoke set for 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 carry 12g-13g spokes if you are looking for thicker gauge spokes, but be sure your rim and hub are compatible with the larger hole size. See our wheel building page for more detailed information on building your wheel.

Our online Spoke Calculator is a great tool for getting the required spoke length for a particular hub, rim, and cross pattern.
