Sapim Leader 15g J-Bend Black Spokes

Best for: Great for budget and utility builds or for when an especially short spoke is needed, such as on Bromptons.

The Sapim Leader is a tough-as-old-boots, plain gauge spoke. It’s not light, it’s not glamorous but it is tough, reliable and great value. The 15g version offers weight reduction on a budget, the spokes are 1.8mm in diameter so you will need a corresponding 15g nipple.

The Sapim Leader is best suited for smaller wheels where weight isn’t your main issue. Trailers, Bromptons and anything with a short spoke will work well and if you want the strongest, lowest-priced wheel going… this is your first stop.

That said, the Sapim Leader is cheap and cheerful. For anything but the lowest-price build, we’d recommend the Sapim Race or any other butted spoke that is only slightly more expensive but offers a much better quality end product.

We’re able to offer these spokes in 1mm increments from 50mm to 310mm.
