If anyone is ordering them now, use the code save10 for 10% off. Code is good for another 10.5 hours.

took about 20 days to get them to me.

But anyways they look to be an exact match, the threads fit on the nipples that came with the hawk (Though the spokes came with there own nipples).

The only thing I have to say is that I haven't put them on yet (Just got them today) also because ill have to take the whole wheel off and looks like ill also have to either remove the sprocket or brake rotor in order to get the spokes through. and the weather sucks and probably will continue to suck so IDK when I'll decide to do it since I don't plan on riding too much anytime soon.

So i cant tell if the angle or bend is correct but they LOOK to be a good fit.

If anyone wants to order them and put them on and let us know, otherwise ill have to get back to you guys on them.

But again, they look to be the right spokes for the job.

I'd like a few spares for the front and rear if anyone wants to split a set.

Hey guys i just put the aliexpress spokes on and they all fit just fine. Haven't rode yet but i think they'll be okay.

I was lucky that all 3 spokes that broke were on the rotor side ALSO on the outside of the hub, that way I didn't have to take the tire off. I just took that caliper and rotor off and worked around the rotor. Took me about 2 hours to do 3 spokes. I had to take off other spokes to work the spokes around other spokes to have them in the right places (pain in the ass) but not too bad.

Idk what to do if the spoke had to be inserted on the inside of the hub OR if they were on the SPROCKET side.
I haven't changed my rear sprocket but i have heard its a bit of a challenge to take off and have heard A LOT of guys have had issues with the sprocket coming off, while riding, after changing it.

Either way, the aliexpress spokes work:

Many people have had the factory sprocket come off too.

poor cush drive stud fitment in the hub, loose or poorly tightened sprocket nuts, and play between the sprocket and the snap ring are all culprits. I had a whole thread dealing with it.
