Spokes Cn Spoke MAC14 stainless steel 2.0-2.0-2.0 262 mm black 72 pcs

Cn Spoke MAC14 stainless steel spokes, diameter pattern 2.0-2.0-2.0 mm and length 262 mm, supplied as a set of 72 black spokes for wheel building or repair. These spokes are manufactured from stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance and uniform cross-section for predictable tensioning during manual or machine lacing. The black finish offers a discreet appearance suitable for a range of bicycle styles, while the consistent 2.0 mm profile across the shoulder, elbow and shaft supports reliable wheel truing and maintenance.

Advantages

The stainless steel construction delivers long-term resistance to rust and reduced maintenance compared with non-stainless alternatives. A uniform 2.0-2.0-2.0 mm diameter pattern ensures consistent stretch and tensioning characteristics across the spoke set, simplifying spoke length calculations and wheel-building workflows. Supplied in a quantity of 72, the set is suitable for complete wheel builds or large repairs, and the black coating helps conceal spokes for a cleaner visual result.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Building or re-lacing bicycle wheels with 72-spoke configurations or multiple wheels
• Wheel repair and replacement where 262 mm spoke length and 2.0 mm diameter are required
• Machine or hand lacing operations in workshops and bicycle service centers
• Custom wheel projects that require black-finished stainless steel spokes

How to use

Select spokes with the correct length and diameter for your hub and rim combination. Install nipples and spokes according to the chosen lacing pattern, using a spoke holder or wheel-building jig to maintain alignment during assembly. Gradually increase spoke tension in stages and use a calibrated spoke wrench and a tension meter if available to achieve even tension across the wheel. Once rough tension is reached, true the wheel by adjusting individual spokes to correct lateral and radial runout, then recheck overall tension and stress-relieve the spokes by compressing rim sections or flexing the wheel to settle the build.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, pair these stainless steel spokes with nipples sized to the rim and use a tension meter when possible. Maintain even tension increments during build and perform stress-relief cycles after initial truing to reduce the need for future adjustments.
