Description
Berd Short/BMX PolyLight™ spokes are ideal for scenarios needing shorter spokes, such as BMX wheels, deep carbon road wheels, and recumbent bike wheels. These spokes must be built according to the specific Short/BMX instructions located in the Berd Spoke Installation Guide.
- Compatible with J-bend and Hook Flange hubs only. Not compatible with Straight Pull hubs.
- Berd Builder’s Consumables Kits must be ordered for wheels built with J-Bend hubs. These kits include the following – Rods for spoke loops (68), Wire with loop ends (4), rubber polishing bits (3), and Berd wheel stickers (2). If you are building wheels using Hook Flange Hubs these kits are not necessary.
- Use Berd spoke length calculator for calculating lengths
- Weight: (64 pcs x 195 mm) 147 g
- Available lengths: 178 – 249 mm in 1 mm increments
- 14 gauge (2.0mm) stainless threaded connection at rim (has flat section that is held with a special tool to prevent twisting)
- Integral eyelet for connection to J-bend or hook flange hubs

- Each spoke order (per 64 spokes) will also include a special drill bit to enlarge hub holes, which is required only for Short/BMX spokes.

Backed by Berd’s 5-Year Limited Warranty
TECHNOLOGYBerd spokes are made from an advanced polymer called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) that has 15 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel and floats on water. Berd spokes have an improved fatigue life compared to steel and are impervious to the elements.
