Zipp CX-Ray J-Bend Spokes

Yes, the J-bend design is a universal standard, making these compatible with most hubs that accept traditional J-bend spokes. However, you must ensure the 266 mm length matches your specific rim and hub combination.

The bladed profile is aerodynamic, meaning it slices through the air more efficiently than a standard round spoke. This reduces drag at higher speeds, helping you maintain momentum with less effort.

While you can install them with standard spoke wrenches, you will need a bladed spoke holder to prevent the spoke from twisting while you tension the nipple. Without this tool, it is difficult to achieve proper tension and alignment.

Absolutely. The high-strength stainless steel construction is durable enough for gravel and rough road conditions. They are designed to handle the structural demands of varied terrain while maintaining their aerodynamic profile.

Each package contains three spokes. If you are rebuilding an entire wheel, be sure to calculate the total number of spokes required for your specific lacing pattern and order accordingly.
