Chrome-plated steel spoke

Example 1: Chrome-plated steel spoke
Imitation
  • Metric thread (M3.5) with a reduction from 3.40 mm to 3.10 mm
  • Surface is fully chrome-plated
  • Dents evident around the hook
  • Rear head angle of the spoke head is wrong
  • Upper flank diameter exceeded and therefore not to gauge
  • Upper dimensional limit of the external diameter exceeded at the thread
  • Thread not uniform in shape and covered in multiple inclusions
  • Spoke nipple wobbles on the spoke – a first sign of poor gauge accuracy
  • The nipple supplied can be turned on the spoke – poor gauge accuracy
  • Go/no-go gauge almost falls through the nipple
  • Good/very good reproduction of the cloverleaf logo
