Hi

I'm restoring my 81/82 Mongoose and it's Pro Class wheels. I'm missing 2 spokes from the front wheel and 4 also need replacing because they are bent.

Do the Asahi spokes have the long brass nipples?

Here are some pics of a pro-class spoke:





Nipples are 16mm.

I bought 6 individual stainless steel Halo spokes, but the thread on the spokes is a little bit shorter, the nipple is 12mm and the nipples are silver not brass.

Can anyone give me some advice? Please don't say re-spoke, as I want to keep this bike as original as possible, as it's a survivor and my BITD bike.

Cheers

AL

I used strips of material on all my pro-class rims does the job :D :daumenhoch:

Has anyone got any advise regarding my post about spokes?

Cheers

Alan can you not just use the new spome with the original nipple? Turn it with a spoke key if the screwdriver slot on the back has sheared as most of them do when they tighten them in a factory originally, but it's still perfectly safe to use :daumenhoch:
