Ensure reliable performance of your bicycle wheels with the Polygon PA00722 Spoke & Nipple—a robust replacement suited for Polygon’s 27.5-inch wheel systems.
-
Material & Composition
Crafted from stainless steel, this spoke and nipple set is built to withstand rust and corrosion, making it highly suitable for Malaysia’s humid and coastal environments. -
Spoke Gauge & Compatibility
Designed as a 14G spoke (approx. 2.0 mm diameter), it delivers a practical balance of strength and flexibility. It’s compatible with most 27.5-inch Polygon models such as the Xtrada, Premier, and Siskiu. -
Dimensions & Weight
While the exact length isn’t specified, Polygon’s typical spoke nipple dimensions fall between 12 mm to 14 mm, and stainless steel nipples in this range often weigh around 0.8 g each.
This lightweight yet durable setup ensures minimal rotational mass for responsive wheel performance.
Usage & Installation Instructions
-
Replacement Steps
Remove the wheel and tyre, then use a compatible spoke wrench (typically 3.23 mm or 3/16″) to unthread the worn nipple and spoke. Replace with the new Polygon spoke and nipple, carefully threading it into the rim. -
Truing the Wheel
Re-tension the spoke gradually, checking wheel alignment using a truing stand or brake calipers. Aim for smooth circumference and hub-centred alignment. Make adjustments in small millimetre increments until the rim runs true. -
Inspection & Maintenance
After riding in muddy or wet conditions, clean the spoke and nipple area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Dry thoroughly to prevent early rusting, even though stainless steel is more resistant.
Precautions
-
Use Genuine Parts
Always use the correct Polygon PA00722 to maintain thread integrity and ensure compatibility with your wheel build. -
Avoid Overtightening
Stainless steel is durable—but over-torquing can cause spoke breakage or strip nipple threads. Tighten gradually and evenly. -
Regular Check-Ups
Inspect periodically—especially after long rides or rough terrain—for any signs of loosening, fatigue, or corrosion.
