Manufactured entirely in Switzerland, these spokes benefit from over 350 years of steelworking expertise. Their 14\/15 gauge double-butted design offers an optimal balance of strength and lightness, featuring a 1.8 mm thickness in the center to reduce weight and 2 mm at the ends to ensure durability where it matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes undergo a unique ultrasonic peening process that cold-forges the metal, enhancing its strength rather than weakening it as seen in other brands. This advanced technique results in an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for a wide range of cycling disciplines. Additionally, the rolling of the nipple thread preserves the material’s grain, significantly reducing the risk of failure and extending the lifespan of your wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReliable performance in both everyday commuting and competitive racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight yet strong design for improved wheel efficiency and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhanced resistance to spoke breakage thanks to ultrasonic peening and superior materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with various wheel sizes, ensuring versatility in wheelbuilding projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring spokes thicker than 2 mm at the ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking non-stainless steel spokes for specific weight or flexibility preferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWheels that demand custom spoke lengths outside the available 305 mm size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these spokes suitable for mountain biking?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, their durability and strength make them popular among both casual riders and World Cup Downhillers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes DT Swiss spokes different from others?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir patented ultrasonic peening process cold-forges the spokes, increasing strength without adding weight, unlike other brands that weaken spokes during butting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510024790191,"sku":"SK305D","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227677-18118400.jpg?v=1768524008","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-competition-silver-double-butted-spokes-14-15g-2-1-8mm-305mm-box-100","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
