Buying advice

When choosing spokes consider material (steel vs aluminum), butting, spoke count, and intended use. Double-butted stainless steel like DT Swiss or Sapim offers the best balance of strength, weight, and durability for most riders, while aluminum options provide weight savings at the cost of lower tensile strength.
