Some Specs on the Velo Hangers. The spoke hook for hanging is made from a stainless steel 12 gauge spoke smashed to fit correctly into the gutless Schrader valve stem. FYI The 12 gauge spoke hook is over 3 times stronger than a 14 gauge spoke hook. For hanging shorts and pants the new Velo Sport Hangers have a twine set of long, 392 mm double threaded SS 14 gauge spokes spanning from end to end of the rim section. We will post more pictures on Sunrise cyclery.net to show these added details as well as how to make the Velo Sport Hanger the best for bibs and more.
