adam 94 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ok right you could send the wheel to tartybikes and get white viz! spokes then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Tartybikes do white trialtech spokes with silver nipples. At the checkout you specify your hub and rim. Hope this helps you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 DT Swiss are supposed to be the best. But getting them is pretty hard, and they come in limited sizes and mainly stainless over here. The Viz, Trialtech and Mutiny are probably all the same, along with the other bmx spokes. But some spokes are different. Unfortunately 174mm isn't common at all so it's going to be the same spokes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 I'm sure any mild steel spokes would so you well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordz Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 dt swiss are the industry favourite, so they're the ones to go for if you've got the money....otherwise just use sapim or mutiny spokes, they'll do fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julius Czar Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 thanks for the advice people im going to look for some sapim race spokes, but if i cant find them, ill get some trialtechs. cheers again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 I didn't think you could get short Sapim spokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryk Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 DT's or Sapim are good, they do dozens of different ones though. My builds got a 10/10 in MBUK once and they were built on DT Swiss Competition spokes.The triple butted DT's (Alpine) are the strongest in the world but I wouldn't expect many shops to carry them in stock. They cost .65p each in silver only The double butted Competitions are spot on and retail at .85p each for black and .60p each for silver.

Literally so wank. The alloy nipples i use allow more tension than them without grease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
