Welcome to RyanBuildsWheels: Bespoke Handbuilt Wheels and Custom Cut Spokes


You are purchasing a pack of 8 14g/2.0mm Sapim Leader Straight Pull Spokes in Silver.  For more information read on.

**State the length of spokes you require in the 'Message to Buyer' field during the checkout process. Mixed length order are welcome**


The full range of Sapim Spokes and Nipples for the rest of your build can be found via my shopfront.

All spokes are custom cut in house on our factory grade shear and die equipped Spoke Cutting and Threading Machine. I currently offer these spokes in sizes from 80-310mm cut to any length you require to the nearest mm.  Threads are rolled, not cut, meaning no stress risers are formed, using exactly the same process as high end factory produced spokes whilst allowing us to check thread quality more regularly.  Extra short spokes are HERE..

Quality Stainless Steel Plain Gauge spokes should be considered the absolute minimum if you are building your own wheels and are great for builds needing an especially short spoke.  For builds requiring spokes longer than 204mm I strongly suggest spending only slightly more on a butted spoke, such as the Sapim Race.  Butted spokes save weight, and greatly increase the fatigue life of a well built wheel.  Likewise unless Silver is your aesthetic of choice the process of blackening spokes adds a further chemical barrier (a quality spoke is never painted) between spoke and nipple materials and thus they are more resistant to corrosion within the thread.  You can find the full range of Sapim Spokes in both Silver & Black in my eBay Store HERE.

These spokes come with Sapim's Polyax 12mm Nickel Plates SIlver Brass Nipples as standard for free. You have the option of changing to longer nipples for deep v type rims should you need them, or upgrading to Sapim's excellent 7075 T6 Heat Treated Aluminum Nipples either in Silver or Anodised colours: Black, Red, Gold, Purple, Green, Blue.  If choosing these options then please state colours and length when stating spoke length.  I use and suggest Sapim's anodised alloy nipples on all performance based wheelbuilds; they are superior to any I have ever used adding both weight saving, corrosion resistance and a touch of colour.
