Did you measure the length and diameter? I haven't had a chance to yet. If it's 162mm x 4mm dia. I think I found them.

This is what I found. It's a whole set including nipples so you won't have to worry about the threads. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/GY-C...281989453.html You could always sell the old ones here to recover some of the money.

Yea, all 3 have broken the same way. Though I have almost 6000 miles on my hawk and have taken it through some rough terrains and trails. Which is probably why they have been popping off, but the FRONT spokes have been no problem at all. |

My experience has been about a week and a half to two weeks. They garratee 30 day or you get a full refund. Still slow ,but what you going to do? can't get them off the shelf anywhere.

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.

Unless you did the math, that's only 3600 miles. The odometer reads in km's. 6000 miles is just about 10,000 km....ARH

But to be honest i have taken my hawk off some ramps and caught a little air a few times and the HAWK hits down pretty hard. I usually keep it within its suspension's limits but i didnt think about how the rims/spokes would take it. Also i wheelie the sh*t out of my hawk and maybe I just put too much abuse on that back rim for this $1000 bike to handle. IDK. |
