Spoke Weight~ New !
Finally in stock-this heavy duty spoke weight is made of black painted steel with an overall length of 16 1/4" x 1 1/4" wide and weighs 1.4 lbs. It is marked with white numerals every inch with the center point marked with "0" and is numbered in both directions beginning at the center to help you square your woven bases evenly.
