Featuring a heavily double-butted 14 gauge spoke (2.0/1.5/2.0mm) the Expert Spoke Kit is lighter AND stronger than traditional straight 15 gauge spokes. This is possible by using a spoke that is 14g at the ends but slims down 17g in the middle; this combination makes for an exceptional strength to weight ratio. Additionally included is lightweight black anodised aluminium nipples to further reduce rotational weight.
