A carbon spoke wheelset refers to a wheelset where the spokes are made of carbon fiber instead of traditional materials like steel or aluminum. While carbon fiber spokes are less common than metal spokes, they offer several potential advantages.The subversive cycling performance is the greatest feeling that the carbon spoke wheels can bring you.

Nowadays,carbon fiber spokes are nothing new,once used only by professional cyclist,they are now used by most amateur cyclists ,not only for racing ,but also for training.
Brands are also trying to develop carbon fiber spoke wheelsets ,so they are no longer someting too difficult to accomplish.

EIE now offer below three types of carbon spoke to build your dream wheelset.

To match EIE carbon spoke ,you only can select EIE ratchet hubset.

What are the advantages of carbon spoke wheel sets? Is it worth buying?

1)The lightest wheels weight you can get

Carbon spokes feature a high stiffness to weight ratio that maximizes wheel stiffness while keeping things lightweight.So using carbon spokes can save half weight of high end steel spokes like Sapim CX ray.

Let us talk about a 280mm length spoke to compare for example .The weight of EIE carbon spokes is 2.0g/pcs,but average weight of Sapim CX ray is 4.6g/pcs.

With eie UL layup or ULL layup rims ,you can be easily to build a wheelset under 1000grams.

2)Carbon fiber spokes have higher tensile strength.

Carbon fiber has higher tensile strength than steel in certain directions.The middle part of EIE carbon spokes are made of radially laid with UD unidirectional cloth to obtain the best tensile performance,the two end threads are made of titannium material to ensure the spoke strength and best assembly with nipples but without increasing weight.The high frequency vibration absorption capacity of carbon fiber spokes is better than that of steel spokes.

 4)Service and maintenance
Service and replacement just like normal steel spoke wheels.
But carbon spokes are not easily well tensioned.You will need a more skillful mechanic to build your wheels with carbon spoke as the spoke tension need to be adjusted more carefully by a special tool and take more time to complete a excellent carbon spoke wheels.

If the spoke is broken, you only need to replace the spoke(we will give an extra carbon spoke for each length as replacement with your order).
The max spoke tension we advised is 110-120kgf slightly lower than steel spoke wheels.

Anyway,if you have any after-sales problems, please reach to us at sales@eiecarbon.We will give the solution at the first time.

5)Application
Except for all mountain ,enduro and downhill terrain,EIE carbon spoke wheels can be used in all other cycling conditions including cross country,trail,cyclo-cross,road rim brake and disc gravel.

6)Expense 
Its price may be the only thing holding you back. As you know that we need to invest more for production and research.So I don't think price is its disadvantage,you get what you pay for.
