- The company we now know as DT Swiss has been drawing steel in Biel for over 350 years and their spokes are still made completely in house in Switzerland to the highest possible standards of quality and workmanship
- The DT Aero Comp is a very tough double butted bladed spoke that is perfect for all round use, from road and track to XC or Trail mountain bikes
- The 14 / 15 / 14 gauge double butted spoke has a central bladed section giving aerodynamic advantage, but 2 mm thick at the end where strength is needed
- Whereas other brands stretch and weaken their spokes to butt them, DT's unique and closely patented ultrasonic peening process cold forges the spoke, actually strengthening the metal, giving DT's the best strength to weight ratio of any butted spokes
- Made exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel that is custom blended just for DT
- The rolling of the nipple thread removes no metal from the spoke and preserves the grain of the material, maximising strength and greatly reducing the likelihood of failure at the threads, a common issue with lower quality spokes
- Finished in black using an electro-chemical treatment that is durable, and does not weaken the spoke
- Weight: 382 grams for 64 x 264 mm length spokes, 2 mm thread
