DT Aero Speed spokes (black)

[foz]

I have a full set of DT Aero Speed spokes that just came out of a built but unused set of wheels. So they're used, but not

283mm x 16
295mm x 16
285mm x 32

weight is 383g for all 64 spokes.

The silver ones go for about 1.50 each retail, the black ones seem rarer and might be more expensive.

So I'll say 64 GBP posted for the full set, nipples included.

Thanks, Andy

I guess these spokes won't pass through a normal round spoke hole, right? You need a hub with slotted holes?

They fit fine through a standard 2.4mm round spoke hole. The bladed section is 2.3mm wide and 1.2mm thick. They came out of a set of hubs with ordinary round spoke holes, no there's no need for slotted holes

just for interest I have Sapim CX Ray spokes and they also fit 'normal' hubs - no slotting needed and they reputedly are something like 3 times as strong as round spokes( and feel it on the bike)

bump! just found these in a drawer, I seem to have lost the nipples but will have a look and see if I can find them. They need a 1.8mm thread diameter nipple (15 gauge).

A quick check on the internet and chainreaction have them for 16 GBP for 18, so how about 40 GBP posted for all these?
