I bought a set of S-2 Schwinn rims and they have .062 diameter spokes. I'm building a whizzer using a 1948 Schwinn B6 frame. Bike will be a neighborhood rider, nothing fancy. Are these spokes ok to use or do I need a larger diameter? Steve
Traditionally heavier spokes are recommended for a Whizzer or any motorized bicycle. Heavy duty Cruisers and paper boy bikes had them as well as Wallmart Huffy Cranbrooks. 270mm length will lace up nicely with a cross four pattern. I've used them from Husky with no problems. A front brake is also advised. Check with Baird for more info on spokes, as he's built a lot of wheels.
