Sapim

Sapim is a Belgian spoke and nipple manufacturer founded in 1918, widely regarded as one of the world's finest producers of precision bicycle spokes and nipples. Trusted by professional wheel builders, custom wheel manufacturers, and serious cyclists worldwide, Sapim spokes are used in some of the most prestigious hand-built and factory wheels in cycling. At Swinnerton Cycles, we stock Sapim spokes and nipples for wheel builders and cyclists looking for premium Belgian-made components for custom wheel builds and repairs.

The Sapim range covers butted and straight-gauge spokes in multiple lengths and finishes, alongside brass and alloy nipples in standard and polyax designs.
