HAWK Rear Spoke Length? What to Buy?
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew the right measurement of the HAWK's rear spokes? I'm down 2 spokes already and I cant figure out Buchanan's list of their spokes, they list them by gauge size and I have no clue what to order. I would prefer to buy a few individual spokes rather than spend $30-50 on a whole set.
Link: http://www.buchananspokes.com/produc...eel_spokes.asp MotoCheez did a vid on the rear spokes and gave a link but the ebay link says they are 16" but then also says they are 162mm. They have them as a whole set and i don't want to buy a whole set when im not even sure if they are saying they are 16in or 162mm (Kinda holding out on the eBay link as a last resort) Here's that Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131898846804?rmvSB=true Buchanan: eBay: Thanks in advance. |

Have you gotten this one figured out? I would like to order spares just in case.

Same here! Corn stalks can play hell on spokes. I kept all the straight spokes off my taco'd front wheel, so I have spares for it.

if we knew for sure the Ebay ones are the right ones you could buy a set and sell off the rest on here to guys like us that only need a few.

how bout taking one off the bike and measuring it. may need to google where to measure to on the spoke and get gauge. if your already down two i would get a heavier gauge spoke.

Even with the length (162mm) I cant figure out where to buy or order one/some. Like said, buchanan doesnt just list "162 mm spokes, click here" they have a whole bunch of numbers and gauge sizes i have no idea what would work for the HAWK. Even with the eBay one saying they were 162mm someone confirmed that they are in fact the wrong ones. So we are trying to get info about what would work, and where we could get them, from someone who knows more about spokes or dirt bikes in general. |

Spokes usually break because they are loose or over tight, or the spoke or spokes opposite of them are loose/tight. Plus, once one spoke goes, it increases the load on the other spokes and increases their chance of breaking too.
As far as ordering from Aliexpress, I have had nothing but good luck so far, but yes the shipping time can be a bit tedious sometimes. I usually get my stuff within 2 weeks of placing my order. If you get these and they do work, definitely report back please. I would love to buy a spoke set for the front and rear to keep as spares just in case. Normally I would go the Buchanan's route, but custom spoke sets from them are upwards of $100+ usually.

I'd like a few spares for the front and rear if anyone wants to split a set.
