Welcome to RyanBuildsWheels, Bespoke hand-built bicycle wheels from Bristol, UK. Established March 2015.

I build lovingly laced wheels to perfectly suit your needs, as well as stocking and supplying Sapim Spokes to local shops and, here, online. If you're interested in a set of hand-built wheels then please get in touch!

You are purchasing Sapim CX Ray Spokes in Black, J Bend. I buy my spokes in bulk and cut them to your required length on a factory grade Spoke Cutting Machine, a very expensive piece of kit. This means that I can offer any size of spoke you may need, to the nearest millimetre with a higher quality control for thread rolling than factory produced spokes, at a cheaper price: spread the word!
I am currently able to offer these spokes in 1mm increments from 242mm to 310mm: please state which size you require when making your order.

Please also state any nipple size/colour requirements upon purchase.

Sapim Say:

"As light as a titanium spoke.

The CX-Ray still receives the best results in fatigue testing of any spoke. Its unique strength and flexibility make the CX-Ray suitable for most bicycle disciplines. The middle section of the spoke is drawn then pressed in a special mold to form its specific profile.  CX-Ray spokes are used by top bike racers and triathletes around the world. Even downhillers use them, recognizing their strength and flexibility. Special alloy treatment and sophisticated production make this all possible.  The CX-Ray fits all standard hub holes.

  • No more extra hub hole design; the hub manufacturer's guarantee is unaffected.
  • More long lasting than any other spokes on the market.Extremely high fatigue test results
  • Special alloy treatment and sophisticated production.
  • The best aerodynamic spoke available.
  • Produced from high-tensile, fatigue-resistant 18/8 stainless steel conforming to the Sapim quality standard specifications."
