Hi, After getting a much appreciated continuing education in 26 x 1.375 tires, I need to ask about spokes. In reviewing other posts, I think I’ve figured out that Torrington 080-060 spokes are called double butted because the diameter of the spoke is slightly larger on each end of the spoke than in the middle. Assuming that is correct – PLEASE TELL ME IF I’M WRONG - then the spokes on this Compax are most likely 080-060, since the actual ends are close to .080 diameter but the middles are closer to .064. Dummy me took lots of pre-disassembly pics of the bike for help in putting things back together but I didn’t really examine the relationship of the spokes to each other very closely on the rear wheel. By that I mean I didn’t look to see if spokes that crossed each other actually touched each other. The rear hub is completely de-spoked so it’s too late to examine it but none of the spokes on the front hub seem to touch each other. My question then is can I replace 080-060 double butted spokes with straight 080 spokes – the same diameter for the length of the spoke – without creating any future problems? Thank you.
