Sapim 2.3mm 13 plain gauge silver bicycle spokes for e-bikes, tandems.
We are offering individual stainless steel, silver spokes (13 gauge 2.3mm diameter) and in different lengths (we sell black in a separate listing) the spokes offer better value with increasing numbers purchased. Each spoke comes with its own same coloured, 12mm long, brass nipple; be aware that not all spokes on Ebay are offered with the nipple. We also sell a range of coloured nipples and alloy nipples from our Ebay shop. (When Sapim spokes are out of stock we replace them with Pillar.)
These spokes are 2.3mm plain gauge spokes and as such are particularly suitable for e-bikes and tandems which weigh more than conventional bikes. Although it is worth noting that spokes only tend to break, without impact, if the spokes are poor quality or the wheel build is poor. It is the case that buying these high quality spokes will not correct either of those factors in your existing wheel.
Plain gauge spokes are cheaper than
butted and have less spring and strength but do not result in a heavily
buckled wheel when they break; for this reason they are the spoke of
choice for expedition riders, tourers and long distance riders. They are
easy to replace and repair and although not as strong as butted the
strength characteristics are still high. Butted spokes are stronger than plain, for a given diameter, and more resistant to impact offering greater springiness and greater comfort, they can also be built into a stiffer wheel.
We continue to expand our selection of spokes, so if you do not see the length you want why not send us a message and we may be able to get them in.

It is the nature of spokes and bicycle wheels that people often need variations from our listings on Ebay.
