good spoke, strong, simple, good quality

Bottom Line:
These butted gems are not only light weight they are very cheap at the place I ordered them at plus they custom cut them to the exact length I needed. 35 cents for a DT spoke is an absolute bargain. Makes me want to buy a bunch just to make spoke jewelry out of! ICYCLES Rocks!

Strengths:
Best spoke on the market
Weaknesses:

Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
KHS Mustang w/white crank and xt drive train
Bottom Line:
These spokes have been around since the dawn of bike time. And people are just rediscovering them. They are the best, the strongest. Build your wheel right and you won't have to touch it for mega miles. This has been my experience. Use 36 spoke hubs/wheels and build 3 of 4 cross.
Lighter spokes or more radical lacing will just give you trouble. Do you want to ride or look cool. If you want to ride, build em right use good quality spokes and you won't be continuously tuning your wheels or replacing spokes. Too heavy, you say? Well then get in shape so you can push those wheels!...Lighter wheels, less of a workout...Slightly heavier wheels...better workout and more durable bike!!!

Bottom Line:
The only way to build wheels that last are 14 guage straight 3X front and rear. If the wheel builder builds them properly, you'll have an awesome set of wheels. You shouldn't buy it if you are a weight weenie
