13 gauge spokes?
I've been searching around for 13 gauge spokes and having no luck. Does anyone know where I might be able to find some? So far I've only been able to find 12 and 14 gauge in the size I need (185mm). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

13 gauge spokes?
Unfortunatly I don't know where you can get them, but I'm curious as to why you would want them over 12 or 14? What rim or hub are you using that uses that size? Edit: is there even such a thing as a rim or hub that would need 13 gauge spokes? -- ntappin 'how to build a strong comfy saddle from junk.'

I remember hearing that the KH Moment hub used 13, but don't quote me on that. =p -- Jerrick ~*~!I ride for Christ, Fun, Challenges, and a lot more!~*~ '!Gallery!' (http://tinyurl.com/gf2g9) '!MRIS!'

The moment hub is advertised as using 13 gauge spokes. I would say not to worry about trying to find 13 gauge and go for the 14. They are easier to find and probably more abundant. -- p1choco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ p1choco's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13470 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/55270 |

Speaking in technical terms, I guess it is. A thicker gauge is typically stronger than a thinner gauge. Using a thicker gauge lets you use less spokes because of the added strength. Less spokes means less weight. I think that was the intention a long time ago. Bicycle rims and hubs started using less spokes as technology progressed. -- p1choco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ p1choco's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13470 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/55270 |
