DT Champion 2.0 (14ga) Review

Customer Ratings:

Who would have thought to look in Amazon for bicycle spokes! I currently live outside of the USA where there are very few options for such a specialized item as a 303mm X 2.0mm DT Swiss spoke. Anyway, the item arrived on time and is exactly what I ordered. I rebuilt my 18 year old hybrid rear wheel in about a day. Thanks Amazon!

DT Swiss is my go-to brand for spokes. These are just the basic straight gauge, and I do prefer double butted when available (affordable) due to the better strength-to-weight ratio, but straight gauge DT has never let me down. I've wrecked wheels, failed rims, and broken alloy nipples, but never had a material failure of the DT spoke itself. Considering the flotsam of broken bike parts that I have left in my wake, this complete lack of critical failure for such a common part is something to be noted.

If you want to talk about broken spokes, look at any of the machine built wheels coming out of Asia, and I'm lucky if I get one season before I have to rebuild the whole wheel with (you guessed it) DT Swiss straight gauge spokes...

Good quality stainless steel spokes that are flexible enough to get them in position but hard enough to handle the load. Brass nipples are nice because you don't have to worry about them forming a permanent bond with the spokes due to corrosion. I would recommend these to a friend.

Honest reviews on DT Champion 2.0 (14ga)

These are high quality spokes made from high quality stainless steel. You can definitely tell DT spokes a part from those cheap no-name spokes. I have not broken one in 3k miles of rocky trail riding.

It is a box of 100 bicycle spokes that measure 178mm and 101 nipples in a box inside that bigger box.

I use it for my 26" Rhyno Lite rim on my Bionx hub motor. Due to my weight and baggage and speed and poor road conditions and daily use, I break spokes a lot. Thought it was better to get 100 spokes for 45 dollars than 26 spokes for the same price at my local bike shop.
