Description
The Berd PolyLight 14g Spoke is a black, 269mm spoke sold individually. It features PolyLight polymer technology, making it one of the lightest spokes available and helping reduce wheelset weight by 100 to 200 grams. The spoke has a 1.8mm cross section for better aerodynamics and a stainless steel 14 gauge (2.0mm) threaded connection at the rim with a flat section designed to prevent twisting during installation. It includes an integral eyelet for connecting to J-bend or straight pull hubs and is compatible with all standard hub and rim connections. These spokes are stronger and more fatigue resistant than most on the market and improve vibration damping for a smoother ride. A custom coating enhances abrasion resistance. Each spoke weighs approximately 2.4 grams (based on 64 pieces weighing 156g total). Use of double square locking nipples (part # DT647 or PM78470) is recommended but not included. Additionally, the Berd Supplemental Kit BO2924, which contains eyelet rods, an eyelet hook, and a hub deburring tool, is required (one kit per wheelset). Note that Berd spoke lengths do not follow standard sizing, so it is important to use the Berd spoke length when ordering. This item is a special order and typically available within 1-2 weeks depending on lead times.
