Spokes Cn Spoke STD14 stainless steel 2.0-2.0-2.0 278 mm with nipples 144 pcs (CN-STD278)

Cn Spoke STD14 is a set of 144 stainless steel straight-gauge bicycle spokes with matching nipples, each spoke measuring 278 mm and featuring a uniform 2.0-2.0-2.0 mm diameter profile. Designed for wheel building and maintenance, this collection delivers consistent mechanical properties across all spokes and includes nipples for immediate use during rim lacing and replacement. The stainless steel construction offers improved corrosion resistance compared with standard carbon steel spokes, making this set suitable for road and city bikes exposed to variable conditions.

Advantages

The uniform straight-gauge 2.0 mm profile ensures even tensioning and predictable stiffness across the wheel, simplifying truing and maintenance. Stainless steel material provides long-term resistance to rust and environmental wear while maintaining tensile strength required for everyday cycling. Including 144 spokes with nipples in one package reduces the need for multiple purchases and ensures compatibility between spokes and nipples for faster wheel assembly or repair.

Suitable for

• Wheel building for road bicycles
• Replacement spokes for city and commuter bikes
• Maintenance and repair workshops
• Bulk supply for bike shops and service centers

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel spokes and matching metal nipples
• Spoke length: 278 mm
• Diameter/profile: straight-gauge 2.0-2.0-2.0 mm
• Quantity: 144 spokes with nipples included
• Intended use: wheel building, repair and spoke replacement

How to use

Select spokes of the correct length and profile for your rim and hub combination, then lace the spokes into the hub and rim according to the chosen wheel pattern. Thread the supplied nipples onto each spoke and bring all spokes to light tension before gradually and evenly tightening to the final tension while truing the wheel. Use a spoke wrench sized to the nipples, a truing stand or axle-mounted method for alignment, and a spoke tension meter if available to achieve consistent tension across the wheel.

Usage recommendations

Check rim and hub specifications before installation to confirm correct spoke length; maintain even tension increments during truing and inspect nipple threads and spoke heads for damage prior to assembly. For routine maintenance, periodically check spoke tension and wheel alignment, and replace individual damaged spokes rather than mixing different materials or diameters within the same wheel.
