What is a spoke? You can define it in different ways: a piece of steel, a wire, a spring or, what we like best, the connection between the hub and the rim. Being the link between the hub and the rim, the spoke has multiple functions:
- Carry: spokes carry the weight of the bicycle as well as it load.
- Absorb: spokes absorb the irregularities of the road and ensure the comfort of the rider.
- Transmission: spokes transmit acceleration and braking effort of the rider.
When you see professional riders coming downhill at close to 90 km/h on their bike, you realize the vital importance to get the best quality of spokes and nipples.
