What Is It?
The Pillar Aero Spoke Black Oxide Straight Pull 268mm is a premium bladed straight-pull bicycle spoke designed for lightweight, aerodynamic, and high-performance wheel builds. Manufactured from Pillar's proprietary T302+ stainless steel using advanced cold-forging technology, it offers exceptional strength, fatigue resistance, and elasticity for durable, reliable performance.
Its straight-pull design removes the traditional J-bend to reduce stress concentrations and improve spoke alignment, while the aero bladed profile helps minimise aerodynamic drag. Finished in Black Oxide, the spoke delivers a sleek appearance with enhanced corrosion resistance, making it an excellent choice for road, gravel, and mountain bike wheelsets.
