DT SWISS Competition J-Bend Spokes 100 unitsElevate your wheel building projects and upgrade your existing wheelset with the DT SWISS Competition J-Bend spokes, the industry benchmark for reliability, performance, and versatility. Delivered in a convenient 100-unit workshop pack, these spokes are the definitive choice for professional mechanics and discerning cyclists who demand the best for their wheels. Whether you are building a new set from scratch or performing a high-performance overhaul, the Competition spokes provide the perfect foundation for a strong, lightweight, and resilient wheel.The DT SWISS Competition spoke is celebrated for its exceptional balance of weight and strength. This is achieved through an ingenious double-butted design, a testament to Swiss precision engineering. The spoke is thicker at the high-stress points—the J-bend head and the threads—and thinner in the central section. This process significantly reduces overall weight without compromising on durability, creating a wheel that is both faster to accelerate and more responsive to rider input.Engineered for longevity, these spokes are manufactured using an advanced cold-forging process. This method realigns the material´s grain structure, resulting in a spoke with superior tensile strength and resilience. This inherent toughness makes the Competition spokes exceptionally well-suited to handle the dynamic loads and constant stresses of both demanding MTB Cycling trails and long, high-speed Road Cycling endurance rides. The elasticity of the butted central section helps to absorb impacts and distribute tension more evenly, leading to a more durable wheel build that stays true for longer.The classic J-Bend head ensures universal compatibility with the vast majority of hubs on the market, making them a versatile and dependable option for any build. As the go-to Spokes for countless wheel builders around the globe, the DT SWISS Competition represents a trusted investment in performance and peace of mind.Main Features:* Optimized Strength-to-Weight Ratio: The double-butted profile provides strength where it´s needed most, while shaving precious grams from the wheel´s rotational mass for quicker acceleration.* Enhanced Durability and Resilience: The unique cold-forging process creates an incredibly robust and fatigue-resistant spoke, ensuring a long service life even under punishing conditions.* Versatile High-Performance: An ideal all-rounder, equally at home on a lightweight road race wheelset or a durable mountain bike wheel, providing reliable performance across all disciplines.* Proven J-Bend Design: Offers widespread compatibility with standard hubs and a proven track record of strength and reliability at the hub flange connection.* Workshop-Ready Packaging: Supplied as a box of 100 units, perfect for professional workshops, bike shops, or serious home mechanics planning multiple wheel builds.---Technical Specifications:* Head Type: J-Bend* Profile: Double Butted (2.0 / 1.8 / 2.0 mm)* Material: High-Quality Stainless Steel* Color: Silver* Nipples: Not included * Example SKU: Spokes DT Swiss Competition, 2.0x1.8x2.0 mm, Length 256 mm, Silver, Niro, without nipple
