Spokes and nipples
Wheels, hubs, inner tubes, tires – essential parts of a bicycle. When choosing these parts, it is important to consider the size of the wheels – 12" to 29", the type of bicycle – mountain, city, road, etc., and the intended use – whether you will ride on a difficult swamp road, smooth asphalt or a forest trail.

Bicycle spokes and spoke tips are essential parts of any bicycle. Spokes connect the hub to the rim, and spoke tips provide the strength and stability of this connection. Properly selected and adjusted components determine the stiffness, durability, and overall ride quality of the bicycle.
When choosing spokes, it is important to consider their shape, diameter, construction and purpose. Each type has different properties that affect the stiffness, weight, flexibility and overall ride comfort of the wheel.
Main types of spokes:
Straight gauge - with the same 2 mm width along the entire length. They are made of solid metal rod, without thinning. They are characterized by high tensile strength, easy installation and durability. Ideal for city, touring and trekking bikes, where durability is essential.
Butted - these spokes are thicker at the ends (for example, 2 mm) and thinner in the middle (1.8 mm or 1.5 mm). They are most often called "double-curved" or "triple-curved". The main advantages are lower weight without losing strength, better flexibility and longer service life due to more even load distribution. A great choice for sports and long-distance bikes. Disadvantages include higher price and more difficult tension adjustment.
Bladed - aerodynamic spokes with a flat "blade" shape that reduces air resistance. Most often used in road racing. They are more durable than regular round ones, give a unique look, but are more expensive and more difficult to install - special tools may be required. This is the best solution for professionals or those looking for maximum speed and efficiency on the road.
