Great spokes at a reasonable price.
Can't go wrong with Sapim. Maybe they're not as sexy as DT Swiss, but they get the job done and usually for less money. The spokes I received were professionally packaged and clean. I have ordered spokes from other vendors that have arrived with haphazard labeling and still slick with cutting oil. This was the first time using the Wheel Fanatyk "Fix" spoke thread prep. I have commonly used the Wheelsmith stuff, which has been fine but I got tired of it drying out in the container. This Fix stuff is really different. Goes on easily, and feels almost silky when tensioning. Plus, it's a pleasing color. I will pound some miles on these wheels and re-check tension in a few months, but I have no reason to believe the Fix won't hold. I will continue to order from Wheelbuilder. Good communication, etc. Good folks.
Sapim Spokes
I've never had a problem with these spokes. They have been consistent and get the job done.
Expensive Shipping
Spokes are great. Having only super expensive shipping options seems a bit crazy to me.
Quality, availability, fit and finish
These were a perfect for restoring my 1972 Schwinn Sports Tourer wheels. They matched the profile of the old spokes, but were a MUCH better made spoke, with modern materials and quality control. Easy to lace up and tension. Shipped quickly and packaged safely. Very, very happy with this product!
Sapim Spokes
Great quality, strength, longevity
Wheel building
Just what I needed to build my wheel, great quality spokes
Wheel Builder is hands-down the best site for wheel building materials
I've purchased off of various sites in the past, and wheelbuilder.com is hands-down the best. Here are examples as to why:
-I called for support, and within moments a real person answers. And in-fact they were an experienced wheel builder who solved my various issues, put products in my cart and solved my problems. That is piece of mind with this stuff.
-Yeah, shipping isn't cheap, but I get everything in literally two days. They fulfill the order within minutes of me placing it.. every... single... time.
I no longer have any need for sources beyond this website. 10/10 will build again.
Great Spokes
I used these to re-lace both of my wheels. I already put many miles on one without issue, here's to many more miles to come.
Reliable and durable
My go to spokes for the rear tire on enduro bike. Also had these same spokes on a hard tail for over 8 years and never had an issue. I always go with wheel builder just for the ease of buying and really fast shipping.
Reliability
These have been my go-to spokes for durable wheel builds with enough compliance for carbon rims. They have the slight edge on weight and price too.
It's likely a placebo, but I feel that the smooth butting of these spokes improves the strength over abrupt butting. Overall, a quality spoke I keep coming back to.
