What Is It?
The Pillar Aero Spoke Black Oxide Straight Pull 260mm is a premium bladed straight-pull bicycle spoke engineered for lightweight, aerodynamic, and high-performance wheelsets. Manufactured from Pillar's proprietary T302+ stainless steel using advanced cold-forging technology, it delivers an excellent balance of strength, fatigue resistance, and elasticity for durable, reliable wheel builds.
Its straight-pull design reduces stress concentrations commonly found in traditional J-bend spokes, while the aero bladed profile helps minimise aerodynamic drag. Finished in Black Oxide, it offers a sleek appearance with enhanced corrosion resistance, making it ideal for performance road, gravel, and mountain bike wheels.
