Sapim Leader 258 mm 14G, nickel finish, without nipple (2580F)

Sapim Leader 258 mm 14G, nickel finish, without nipple (2580F) is a straight-gauge bicycle spoke designed for wheel building or replacing a damaged spoke.

Main Features

Construction and Design

The spoke is made from high-tensile, fatigue-resistant stainless steel and has a constant 2 mm diameter along its entire length. Its silver finish matches a wide range of bicycle rims and hubs.

Key Functions

The 258 mm spoke transfers loads between the hub and rim while helping the wheel retain its correct shape. The Sapim Leader design is intended for durable, reliable and easy-to-maintain everyday bicycle wheels.

Use and Compatibility

The 14G specification corresponds to a 2 mm spoke diameter and requires a compatible 14G spoke nipple. Before installation, the required spoke length, hub attachment type, rim dimensions and wheel-lacing pattern must be checked.

Additional Features

The spoke is supplied without a nipple, which must be selected or purchased separately. Correct spoke tension and wheel truing should be carried out with suitable wheel-building tools.

Summary

The Sapim Leader 258 mm spoke is suitable for building or repairing wheels used on city, mountain, hybrid and other bicycles. It is intended for riders and wheel builders who require a durable, straight-gauge 14G spoke for everyday use.
