Cn Spoke wheel spokes STD14 stainless steel 2.0-2.0-2.0 mm 202 mm black with 144 brass nipples

Set of Cn Spoke STD14 stainless steel wheel spokes with a triple-butted profile 2.0-2.0-2.0 mm and a length of 202 mm in black finish, supplied together with 144 brass nipples. These spokes are intended for bicycle wheel building and repair where 202 mm spoke length and standard nipple threading are required. The stainless steel material and triple-butted construction aim to balance strength, fatigue resistance and weight for reliable spoke performance during normal riding conditions.

Advantages

The triple-butted 2.0-2.0-2.0 mm profile provides consistent mechanical properties along the spoke, improving durability without unnecessary mass at non-critical sections. Stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and predictable tensile strength, while the black finish provides a discreet appearance on a range of rim styles. Including 144 brass nipples ensures compatibility with standard threaded nipples and allows complete wheel builds or larger repair jobs without sourcing additional fittings.

Suitable for

• Building or rebuilding bicycle wheels that require 202 mm spokes
• Replacing worn or damaged spokes on road, touring or hybrid wheels with standard nipple threading
• Workshop bulk repairs where multiple spokes and nipples are needed
• Custom wheel builds where a black spoke appearance is preferred

How to use

Use these Cn Spoke STD14 spokes when assembling or repairing bicycle wheels that require 202 mm spokes and standard nipple threading. Fit each spoke through the hub flange and rim hole, engage the brass nipple on the rim side, and tension progressively to the wheel’s specified spoke tension using a spoke wrench and a calibrated tension meter if available. True the wheel by adjusting spoke tension in small increments until lateral and radial runout are within acceptable limits. Check nipple seating and re-tension after an initial short ride to account for any settling.

Usage recommendations

Match spoke length and threading with your hub and rim specifications before installation. Use a spoke tension meter where possible to achieve even tension across the wheel, and avoid overtightening to prevent nipple or spoke failure. For long-term corrosion protection, ensure nipples are properly seated and consider using a compatible spoke prep or light grease on threads when assembling.
