Excess Steel Spokes Pack Black

Product Overview The Excess Steel Spokes Pack Black provides 80 black-finished steel spokes in a single length for complete wheel builds. Constant 14-gauge (2mm) diameter construction delivers reliable strength and consistent spoke tension characteristics. Black powder-coated finish provides corrosion resistance and clean aesthetics. Available in eight lengths from 176mm to 244mm to accommodate various wheel sizes and spoke hole configurations.

Key Features

• Steel Construction with Black Finish – High-strength steel with powder-coated black finish resists corrosion and rust; provides durable protection in wet and dry conditions
• 14-Gauge (2mm) Constant Diameter – Uniform spoke thickness throughout provides consistent load distribution and predictable spoke tension behavior; simplifies wheel building and maintenance
• Black Powder-Coated Finish – Clean black aesthetic matches most wheel builds; protective coating reduces corrosion while maintaining classic appearance; resists fading and chipping
• 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
• Cost-Effective Performance – Durable steel construction with protective finish at accessible price point

• Disciplines: Suitable for BMX racing, street, park, and general riding

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 14-gauge brass or steel nipples 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 steel spokes with black powder coating provide reliable strength and corrosion resistance. Black finish protects against rust and maintains appearance over time. Regular spoke tension checks maintain wheel trueness and prevent spoke breakage. Suitable for extended use and harsh riding conditions.
