skinny paul Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 (edited) Straight gauge spokes are fine i have used them for years. I also use four cross spoke pattern on my try-all rim Edited January 4, 2009 by skinny paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also plain gauge spokes from billys come with nipples anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
