Weight is only one consideration when choosing what spokes to use. Read on...
$1.00 each (silver)
$1.25 each (black)
DT Competition
All-purpose 2.0/1.8/2.0 double butted spoke for any wheelset. DT's best selling spoke. The best choice for heavier riders, touring and tough conditions. Minimal wind up during builds makes these a snap to get to optimum high tension.
$1.10 each (silver)
$1.25 each (black)
DT Revolution
Super strong and extra-light 2.0/1.5/2.0 double butted. No weight limit.
This spoke sometimes gets a bad rap for being too light and elastic for some riders over 180 lbs. Many riders, however, will appreciate the lively yet solid ride of wheels built with Revolutions.
I build with either Rev's on the front and both sides rear or I'll use Rev non-drive and Comp drive side on the rear.
Contrary to what you might read elsewhere, wind up during building is not an issue with Rev's if the proper methods are followed.
$1.35 each
DT Super Competition
Extra-light and super strong. 2.0/1.7/1.8 triple butted, black. All-purpose spoke originally developed as an alternative to Rev's for mountain bikes. This is the lightweight choice for any road wheelsets when durability also matters. No weight limit; paired with stronger rims, these spokes are perfect for heavier riders.
$3.00 each
