    Duration Product Used:1 Year
    Purchased At:Quality Bicycle Components (QBC)
    Strengths:good spoke, strong, simple, good quality
    Weaknesses:none, they work better than wheelsmith spokes which are whats on most wheels out there. Perhaps if you looks at prices too much they may scare you,
    Similar Products Used:how many different spokes are there??
    Bike Setup:SS Chucker urban FR
    Bottom Line:buy these is you want good quility spokes in your wheels. all of DT's spokes are great products, don't even look for other companines ife would be better if they were the only spoke manufacturer

    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!

    Favorite Trail:gamba
    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Price Paid: $1.00
    Purchased At:local store
    Strengths:Best spoke on the market
    Weaknesses:none
    Similar Products Used:lighter than 14gauge
    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!!!

    Duration Product Used:More than 3 years
    Strengths:Strong
    Weaknesses:Heavy
    Similar Products Used:all
    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
