Stipinas Mach1 PRO 2.0/1.7/2.0mm (double butted) 18/8 stainless 14G black 290mm

A double reduced cross-section 18/8 stainless steel spoke that thins out between spoke head and thread. 25% lighter than a conventional spoke.Material: Stainless Steel 18/8Type: Double buttedGauge: 14 GDiameter: D - 2.0 mm / d - 1.7 mm / D1 - 2.0 mmLength (L): 290 mmWeight: ~ 5 g18/8 STAINLESS STEEL: 18% CHROMIUM / 8% NICKEL = THE IDEAL MATERIAL FOR MAKING SPOKESIts characteristics are:Excellent break resistance: 1160N/mm2Excellent elasticity: 1060N/mm2Stretching point up to 14%Corrosion resistanceAll of these mechanical characteristics result in the production of stable, tough and robust spokes. They are also, and this is not their only quality, perfectly suited to machine and robot wheel assembly. The stainless steel 18/8 spokes adapt to fit the stresses of torsion which they undergo and enable efficient assembly productivity.The final and most important reason to use stainless steel spokes is their strong resistance to a wet and salty environment.After 1008 hours exposure in salt chamber testing no evidence of corrosion is observed. Please use your prefered spoke calculator to find out the right spoke length for your wheel or correctly measure your existing spoke.
