Made entirely in-house, these spokes embody the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Their classic lightweight double-butted design balances strength and weight perfectly, making them a trusted choice for a wide range of cycling disciplines, from daily commuting to intense World Cup downhill racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 14\/15 gauge spoke features a unique 1.8 mm thickness in the center for weight savings, while the ends are reinforced to 2 mm where durability is crucial. Unlike competitors who weaken spokes through stretching, DT Swiss employs a patented ultrasonic peening process that cold-forges the metal, enhancing strength without compromising lightness. Constructed from specially blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes resist corrosion and fatigue, ensuring long-lasting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the rolling of the nipple thread preserves the material’s grain, significantly reducing the risk of failure at this critical point. With a weight of just 311 grams for 64 spokes measuring 264 mm, these spokes deliver a superior strength-to-weight ratio that satisfies both casual riders and professional cyclists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding a lightweight yet strong spoke solution for all types of cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing wheel durability with advanced ultrasonic peening technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring corrosion resistance and longevity thanks to Swedish X5 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing spoke failure through precision nipple thread rolling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for a wide range of cycling styles, from commuting to competitive racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse in non-standard spoke lengths or configurations without confirmation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring spokes thicker than 2 mm for extreme loads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking spokes designed exclusively for aerodynamic purposes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSituations demanding spokes made from alternative materials such as carbon or titanium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these spokes compatible with all wheel types?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are designed for standard wheels that use 14\/15 gauge spokes with a 2 mm thread diameter, but always check your wheel specifications before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the ultrasonic peening process improve spoke performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis patented cold forging technique strengthens the spoke metal by compressing its surface, resulting in superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional butting methods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510024200367,"sku":"SK289D","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227671-26344200.jpg?v=1768524010","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-competition-silver-spokes-14-15g-2-1-8mm-289mm-box-of-100","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
