Precise calculations for perfect wheels with the WWS spoke calculator

What is a spoke calculator?

A spoke calculator is a digital tool that calculates or displays the exact specifications of spokes required for bicycle, motorcycle or classic car wheels. Whether you’re building a new wheel, replacing a spoke or optimising an existing wheel, a spoke calculator provides you with the correct measurements to ensure stability and safety.

With the WWS spoke calculator in our order enquiry, you can determine the WWS item number for the relevant spokes and spoke nipples. The spoke calculator automatically transfers the determined item numbers into an order enquiry, which you can then send directly to us.

Why is a spoke calculator important?

The correct spoke design is crucial for stability and safety: 

• Spokes that are too short can lead to instability.
• Spokes that are too long can damage the tyre.
• The thread length must be proportionate to the diameter of the spoke.
• The thread to be applied in relation to the wire diameter must be rolled to the correct dimensions.
• Incorrect bending angles and/or hook lengths significantly increase the risk of spoke breakage.
• Incorrect spoke designs can cause damage to other vehicle parts or lead to blockages during driving due to spoke breakage.
