Excess Stainless Steel Spokes Pack

Product Overview The Excess Stainless Steel Spokes Pack provides 80 stainless steel spokes in a single length for complete wheel builds. Constant 14-gauge (2mm) diameter construction delivers reliable strength and consistent spoke tension characteristics. Natural stainless finish resists corrosion while maintaining a clean, polished appearance. Available in eight lengths from 176mm to 244mm to accommodate various wheel sizes and spoke hole configurations.

Key Features

• Stainless Steel Material – Resists corrosion and rust from moisture, sweat, and environmental exposure; maintains strength and appearance through extended use and storage; superior to carbon steel in wet conditions
• 14-Gauge (2mm) Constant Diameter – Uniform spoke thickness throughout provides consistent load distribution and predictable spoke tension behavior; simplifies wheel building and maintenance
• Natural Stainless Finish – Polished stainless appearance resists oxidation and discoloration; maintains bright, clean aesthetics without black coating; no finish degradation over time
• 80-Spoke Pack – Provides complete spoke set for two 36-hole wheels, one 48-hole wheel, or spares for multiple builds
• Eight Length Options – Spans 176mm to 244mm to accommodate 16", 18", 20", 24", and 26" wheels with various hub and rim combinations
• Reliable Standard Construction – Non-butted constant-diameter design offers straightforward spoke behavior and proven durability for all riding disciplines

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

• Wheel Building: Use for custom wheel builds on 16", 18", 20", 24", and 26" wheels; verify spoke length using hub and rim ERD (Effective Rim Diameter) before purchase
• Spoke Count Options: 80-pack supports two 36-hole wheel builds, one 48-hole wheel build, or mixed configurations with spares
• Hub Compatibility: Works with any hub featuring standard 14-gauge spoke holes (no proprietary spoke interfaces)
• Best For: Builders constructing durable custom wheels; riders in wet/corrosive environments; shops maintaining spoke inventory; riders prioritizing reliability over weight savings
• Ideal Riders: All skill levels; wheel builders and mechanics; riders in coastal or high-moisture areas; those seeking proven spoke durability
• Disciplines: Suitable for BMX racing, street, park, and general riding without weight restrictions

Length Selection Guide Verify correct spoke length using hub ERD and rim ERD specifications. Most 20" wheels use 214mm–218mm spokes; 24" wheels typically require 230mm–244mm. Consult wheel-building resources or professional mechanics if unsure of correct length.

Installation Note Spokes are sold without nipples. Purchase stainless steel or brass nipples in 14-gauge to match spoke gauge. Nipple length should accommodate spoke thread length without bottoming out. Professional wheel-building knowledge recommended for optimal spoke tension and wheel trueness.

Durability Note Constant-diameter stainless steel spokes provide reliable strength and predictable behavior under load. Stainless material resists corrosion in wet conditions better than carbon steel. Regular spoke tension checks maintain wheel trueness and prevent spoke breakage. Suitable for long-term use with minimal maintenance.
