DJEHB Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Looking for spoke recommendations for a lightweight but strong wheel. Any pointers? I usually just order the sapim spokes from tarty but seeing as the rims and hubs are pretty pimpin would like to explore other options too Edited January 29, 2022 by DJEHB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swoofty Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 I've had great luck running double butted (2.0,1.8,2.0) spokes in the rear for years now (Sapim and DT). For the front I've done one in 2.0,1.5,2.0 but only for rim brakes. For disc front wheels I usually only go down to Sapims 2.0,1.7,2.0 spokes. Check out the BERD spoke thread in the 'Bike Chat' section if you want full crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Yeah, anything thinner than 1.8mm in the centre builds a pretty wafty wheel. Strong enough, but feel a bit flexy. Might be ok with carbon rims though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
