Breaking spokes?? Advice....

.... I get a lot of enquiries from people wanting a few spokes to replace broken ones, more than two broken spokes is a cause for concern if there are no specific reasons for failure (like spokes damaged by chain ) there could be a problem with the spokes, spoke tension, hub spoke hole diameter or a combination of any or all three, so my advice is to 1. Use quality branded spokes. 2. Tension spokes correctly according to hub/rim combination. 3 Use a spoke washer if the diameter of the hub spoke hole is more than 0.3mm of the spoke diameter.

Please use the drop down menu for the minimum order quantity of 6 spokes or email me your requirements.

Please contact me if you need anything not listed above

Please check text highlighted in red before ordering

Please note the 5mm diameter nipples require a 3.96mm spoke key
