Alpina Hyperlite/Super Lite Ultra Spokes

[piggybladder]

I recently discovered these spokes during an online search. They're made by Alpinaraggi in Italy. https://www.alpinaraggi.it/en/spokes-nipples/. They look really interesting. I wonder if anyone in the UK has any experience of building wheels with them or riding wheels built with them? Anyone know a UK seller?

No experience, but interesting scan of Alpina catalogue. The ABS nipples seem worthwhile. I can't see that the spokes will be better than Sapim or DT Swiss offerings.

I was thinking the same. As for spokes it looks like minimum order quantity of 2000. That would explain why no-one in UK seems too interested.

"If you’re using Mavic, Bontrager, Campagnolo, Fulcrum or newer Zipp wheels, there’s a good chance that they’ve got Alpina spokes and/or nipples in them.
