Broken front spokes
 
Hey everyone!

Just wondering if anyone knew where to get front spokes for the Hawk. I tried searching on here but all I turned up was rear spokes. I also tried measuring them and looking for replacements... but I didnt turn up much...

Preferably in the US, I dont want them to come right as riding season ends :(

Thanks for your help guys! :thanks:

If this was my problem, I would remove the different length of spokes, measure them for length and guage (with a Micrometer), and call Buchannon's and talk it over with them. I think they will want you to mail them the spokes and nipples. They will make you new spokes, if they don't already have them. You can Google up Buchannon Spokes, I believe. If you have trouble, just let us know, one of us knows their number.

That's exactly what I did for my Lifan. I went the extra mile and ordered stainless spokes, so they never rust.

mq991 - I recommend you get Buchanan's rear spokes as well. They are far superior to the stock ones.

My guess is parts interchange between TT250 and Hawk wheels.

MQ991. If you decide to try CSC for spokes, you can try just ordering one of each type of spoke to check if they interchange with yours. Of course, they aren't any better than the Hawk spokes, but it is an idea

The rear Hawk spokes are not interchangeable with the TT250, but, the fronts may be. I know the front hubs are different so I wouldn't hold my breath.

That's the place. So far as I know, that's where every flat track racer goes for wheel and spoke work. They are not cheap, but they do the best work. I recommend them highly.

Are all the front spokes the same size on the Hawk?
