Ti spokes are never really a good idea. Yea they are lighter, but they are so much softer and spongier under power. It may actually make you slower in the end. Steel is real.
What are the strongest spokes?
What Are The Strongest Spokes? The strongest spokes are bladed spokes. A bladed spoke is light and has a large surface area. Bladed spokes are used on bicycles to support the weight of cargo or passengers, such as in a delivery bicycle.
How much lighter are titanium spokes?
One of the strongest features of titanium spokes is their weight. They’re lighter than “ordinary” plain gauge spokes and a set can lighten a wheel by roughly 76g/2.6oz per wheel.
How much do titanium spokes weigh?

What are butted spokes?
Butted spokes have at least two distinct diameters: single-butted (SB) spokes are larger at the elbow and smaller along the rest of their length, while double-butted (DB) spokes are larger at the elbow and the thread and smaller in the middle section. Different types of spoke butting.
What is a triple butted spoke?
Triple butted spokes are thickest at the hub end, thinnest in the middle, and in between thicknesses at the rim. Triple butted spokes are mostly used in high load applications. Straight gauge spokes are one thickness straight the way through.
What are 14g spokes?
Spoke sizes Spoke Gauge Diameter and millimetre size. 15g = 1.8mm. 14g = 2.0mm.
What spokes should I use?
Heavy riders or heavy duty applications: consider heavier gauge spokes with thicker cross sections for increased lateral stability. Heavy riders or heavy duty applications: use higher spoke counts to lower individual spoke stress over millions of fatigue cycles. This can dramatically improve long term durability.
How do I choose wheel spokes?
In general terms, the more spokes a wheel has, the more the load is spread and the stronger the wheel should be. Conversely, less spokes means a lighter wheel, so a wheelbuilder must strike a balance between desired strength and light weight.
How much weight does double butted spokes save?
Replacing 32 straight gauge spokes with double-butted spokes gives almost the same benefit of 36 straight gauge spokes, but for about 70 grams less. The extent to which load is shared between neighboring spokes depends on the ratio between the rim stiffness and the spoke stiffness.
How much weight do double butted spokes save?
Are bladed spokes stronger?
The bladed spokes are typically stronger than the butted spokes because the blade is the result of an additional forging process over the butted spoke. Spoke threads are rolled and not tapped. Most spokes are 14 gauge (2.0 mm) which is the starting point before they are butted or bladed.
