Maintain the integrity and smooth performance of your 700C wheels with the genuine Polygon PA00202 Spoke & Nipple set—designed specifically for Polygon wheel builds using 700C rims.
-
Material & Durability
Each spoke and nipple is crafted from stainless steel, offering strong resistance to rust and corrosion—ideal for Malaysia’s humid and coastal environments, ensuring long-term dependability. -
Size & Compatibility
This set is tailored for Polygon’s 700C wheels, commonly found in models like the Sepeda Commuter series or gravel setups. The spoke gauge is approximately 14-gauge (around 2.0 mm in diameter), offering an optimal balance between strength and flexibility. -
Dimensions & Weight
Although the exact detail isn’t published, most Polygon spoke nipple lengths are around 12–14 mm. Each nipple weighs approximately 0.8 g, ensuring the overall rotational mass stays low for responsive ride feel. -
Practical Relevance
Replacing worn or corroded spokes and nipples with these exact-matching parts helps maintain wheel trueness, structural integrity, and ensures smooth rotation—a must for daily Malaysian commutes or long-distance rides.
Usage & Installation Instructions
-
Removal & Replacement
Remove the wheel with tyre and tube. Use a 3.23 mm (approx 1/8″) spoke wrench to carefully unthread the old nipple and spoke. Install the new Polygon parts in their place, ensuring the nipple threads smoothly, then hand-tighten before securing with a wrench. -
Wheel Truing & Tensioning
After installation, tension the spoke incrementally while monitoring wheel alignment using brake pads or a truing stand. Adjust tension by small increments (about 0.5 mm per turn) until the rim runs straight. -
Routine Inspection
Clean the rim and spoke junction with soapy water or isopropyl wipes after muddy or rainy rides to avoid debris buildup. Dry thoroughly to prolong component life.
Precautions
-
Use Original Parts Only
Always use the Polygon PA00202 to maintain wheel build integrity—mismatched parts may not fit properly or could damage threads and the rim bed. -
Avoid Overtightening
Stainless steel is strong—but too much tension may warp the rim or cause nipple threads to shear. Adjust slowly and check frequently. -
Regular Maintenance
Inspect spoke nipples periodically—especially after rough rides or when riding in muddy or salty conditions. Promptly replace any showing signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness.
