G-Spokes and Taper Hex Nipples
G-SPORT BUTTED G-SPOKES: A spoke is only as strong as its weakest point, therefore there is no functional advantage in a design where the spoke's middle is stronger than the elbow and thread. In fact, having a slightly slimmed-down "springier" center section can help to distribute shocks more evenly along the length of the spoke, rather than concentrating them at the ends. Road riders have utilized the advantages of butted spokes for decades, but for BMX there are other factors to consider. The new G-Sport spokes use a butting that is tailor-made for BMX. This is evident in the spoke's slight cross-sectional reductions, super gentle transitions to the butted areas, and an extended elbow-end to cope with the stresses imposed during grinding. You'll save roughly an ounce per wheel on 36's, and the custom butted sections actually allow for a more durable wheel build, rather than a weaker one.
