• Are there cheaper/better value alternatives to CX Ray spokes?
    Can Hope Mono hubs be slotted for bladed spokes without problems? and are they OK for a 18 spoke radial front build?

  • There's the Pillar PSR 1442, but it's not that much cheaper than CX-Rays in small quantities - no doubt the difference is much more if you're buying in OEM quantities. Neither a CX-Ray nor the PSR 1442 will require the hub to be slotted.

  • Pillar psr1422 - marginally heavier and stiffer, 2.2mm on elbow, 1.6mm in the middle(flattened to 1.0 x 2.3) and 2.0mm at the thread. They don't need hub slotting.
    I may have these for sale. Depending on color and lenght.
    Lacing hope hubs radially is generally a bad idea.rs mono front will develop a play if laced radially, when the spokes pull the hub shell apart
