Double Butted Spokes
Looking for Double Butted spokes for a wheel build? You’ve come to the right place. We stock Double Butted spokes in just about any length you will need, and colour too.
Double Butted spokes are a popular spoke type for road bikes for their reduced weight. Rather than being the same thickness of gauge through the length of the spoke, they reduce in the center. Adding up the weight of 70 or so spokes you will need for a wheelset, this reduced weight can be significant. Building with double butted spokes is popular for this reason.
If you are building a wheel it’s important to check what types of spokes will work with your hub. Generally this would be a Double butted or J bend, or it could be straight pull for a higher end hub.
If straight pull is the spoke you need, check out our other spokes page for options in this type.
Our range of spokes come in just about any length you could need, but if you can’t find your length don’t worry. We are a wheel building specialist workshop at Abbotsford Cycles and we custom cut spokes in house using a Phil Wood Spoke cutter. If you are looking for Phil Wood spokes, jump on our main website or come in store & we will cut them on the spot for you!
