Spokes Cn Spoke STD14 stainless steel 2.0-2.0-2.0 188 mm silver with nipples 144 pcs

Cn Spoke STD14 stainless steel 2.0-2.0-2.0 188 mm silver with nipples 144 pcs is a bulk wheel spoke set intended for bicycle wheel building and repair. The package contains 144 straight-gauge stainless steel spokes, each with a uniform 2.0 mm diameter throughout its length and a length of 188 mm, plus matching silver nipples. The stainless steel construction and consistent gauge make the set suitable for rims designed for 2.0 mm spokes, providing corrosion resistance and predictable mechanical behavior during assembly and truing.

Advantages

The straight-gauge 2.0-2.0-2.0 profile ensures uniform tensioning and simpler wheel stress calculations compared with butted variants. Stainless steel material offers durability and resistance to rust for standard riding conditions. Including 144 spokes and matching nipples in one pack simplifies larger repair jobs or full wheel builds without repeated ordering. The silver finish on spokes and nipples provides a neutral appearance that matches many rim and hub styles.

Suitable for

• Building new bicycle wheels that require 188 mm, 2.0 mm straight-gauge spokes
• Replacing broken spokes on multi-spoke rims or high-spoke-count wheels
• Wheel truing and spoke replacement during maintenance
• Bulk stocking for workshops or bike shops handling multiple repairs

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel spokes and metal nipples
• Spoke profile: straight-gauge (uniform diameter)
• Spoke diameter: 2.0 mm throughout
• Spoke length: 188 mm
• Finish: silver
• Package quantity: 144 spokes with matching nipples

How to use

Select spokes of the correct length and diameter for your rim and hub combination. Install each spoke through the hub flange and thread the nipple onto the spoke from the rim side, turning it a few full turns to secure initial engagement. Tension spokes gradually and evenly across the wheel, alternating around the wheel to maintain even stress distribution. Use a spoke tension meter or experienced feel to reach the recommended tension for your rim; then perform truing adjustments to correct lateral and radial runout. After final tensioning, ensure all nipples are seated and recheck wheel dish and tension after a short test ride.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, confirm rim hole size and hub flange clearance are compatible with 2.0 mm straight-gauge spokes before installation. Use proper spoke wrenches and a truing stand when possible, and replace nipples if they are corroded or damaged. When building wheels for heavy loads or high-performance applications, consider consulting specifications for recommended spoke patterns and tension values.
