$143 for 72 with alloy nips at danscomp (if I did my math right)

I buy lots of spokes from dans and all of them have been longer than 190mm.
Call their number, they're awesome. CX Rays are very literally flattened Lasers. If you want cheap blades buy some Mac or Pillar for a buck a peice. I've been happy with them. |

Thanks for agreeing with me?
It's more like saying charcoal is just compressed carbon. Which it is. Cause CX Rays are just Lasers. |

Not if you accept they're for fashion.
They go hand in hand with fixies. |
Street cred, breh

Actually, bladed spokes have a significant impact on reducing wind drag. But, you have to be going over 20 mph to really notice the difference.
|
Wheels are round, tires are round, frame tubes are round, tubes are round, stems are round, seat posts are round, bearings are round, handlebars are round, bells are round, axles are round, bottom brackets are round, head sets are round, chain rings are round...................
Flat spokes are for alien sushi,, not bikes. |
"significant" is the overstatement of the year.
|
The only way to significantly reduced drag by spokes is to have fewer of them.

I especially like it when customers come in to have me build wheels for them and they need bladed spokes, even though they're rocking 90cm wide riser bars and ride wearing a gigantic 25 lb backpack full of bull**** 99.9% or the time. |
