DT Swiss Competition J Bend Black

 DT Swiss Competition Bicycle Spokes Black, 1.8/2mm 

High quality DT Swiss competition spokes

The 14 / 15 gauge double butted spoke is 1.8 mm thick in the centre to save weight, but 2 mm thick at the end where strength is needed

Whereas other brands stretch and weaken their spokes to butt them, DT’s unique and closely patented ultrasonic peening process cold forges the spoke, actually strengthening the metal, giving DT’s the best strength to weight ratio of any butted spoke

Made exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel that is custom blended just for DT.

The rolling of the nipple thread removes no metal from the spoke and preserves the grain of the material, maximising strength and greatly reducing the likelihood of failure at the threads, a common issue with lower quality spokes

Weight: 311 grams for 64 x 264 mm length spokes, 2 mm thread
