SAPIM RACE SPOKE & SAPIM 14MM ALLOY SECURELOCK NIPPLE

Please let us know the spoke size needed

Spoke:

Race

Race is a very popular double butted spoke. Build up tension is easy. Much less torsion and not as elastic as the Laser spokes are the key points. The Race provides a better shock absorption thanks to a thinner middle section than the one of a non-butted spokes. Dealers say about this traditional spoke: “Never change a winning team…”

Aluminum is the material of choice for higher performance. For this purpose, Sapim has chosen the highest aluminum grade possible (7075 T6) for this sort of usage. It combines light weight, strength and corrosion resistance. The anodized surface treatment provides various color possibilities.

We offer aluminum nipples in: silver, black, red, orange, gold, blue, green and purple. Sapim’s state of the art manufacturing process ensures the best quality available on the market. As a consequence Sapim’s Aluminum nipples has become the benchmark in the market.

Weight

Coating

Coating is applied on all aluminium nipples. The coating is applied on the thread and on the nipple. Friction between both spoke and nipple and rim and nipple is signifi cantly reduced. Coating also seals the surface reducing corrosion. This is now standard in Sapim’s production.

New nipple locking system (patented)

The patented Secure Lock nipple of Sapim is a locking mechanism that prevents nipples from untightening.

The advantages of this easy locking system are:

Can be used on truing machine

No loose function while truing the wheel

Available on most current Sapim nipples

Easy to recognize

Highly precise and accurate punching machines are needed for this type of locking system in order to achieve a stable and well defined deformation on the thread. Standard locking resistance of 12 cNm.
