Are sapim spokes good?
Are sapim spokes good?
Sapim spoke nipples are extremely corrosion-resistant, they are very strong so don’t suffer any damage when building the wheel, and they are shaped so that they align well with the spoke – the head can rotate a little inside the rim preventing breakages.
How do you identify a sapim spoke?
Sapim style marking of “PHIL” on the shank of the spoke adjacent to or short of the head. Marking is on the “outside” or away from the head and is read by holding the spoke with the threads oriented up and the head hanging down and away.

Are thicker spokes stronger?
Butted spokes are stronger than straight-gauge or bladed spokes. The thickness difference strengthens the structure because both parts of the spoke are at different angles when compared to each other, which helps distribute stress better than straight-gauge or bladed spokes do. This increases their tensile strength.
Why are spokes so expensive?
Super lightweight butted spokes can twist and stretch out, and manufacturers have eliminated this disadvantage with bladed ones. Bladed spokes take the longest to manufacture, so they are naturally the most expensive.
