Description
Box One Pro Spokes Kit
Overview
The Box One Pro Spokes Kit is engineered for BMX race wheel builds on 24" wheels with a focus on strength-to-weight optimization. The 40-spoke kit features double-butted steel spokes paired with lightweight aluminum nipples, delivering approximately 60g total weight savings per wheel compared to traditional straight-gauge spokes with brass nipples.
Key Features
- Double-butted construction (2.0/1.8/2.0mm) — Thicker 14 gauge at spoke ends where bending loads concentrate; thinner 15 gauge in the middle section reduces unnecessary weight without sacrificing strength
- Superior strength-to-weight ratio — Double-butted design is lighter and stronger than traditional straight 14 gauge spokes; concentrates material where stress is highest
- Black anodized aluminum nipples — Lightweight nipples (0.35g each) reduce rotational weight compared to brass nipples; anodized finish resists corrosion
- Box Hex logo stamped spoke heads — Branded spoke identification with quality control marking
- Optimized for 406mm BMX race wheels — 188mm spoke length and 40-spoke count designed for standard 24" BMX wheel builds
