Title: Pillar Tb2015 spokes
Post by: kubackje on June 20, 2025, 03:56:45 PM

Hey guys anyone got experience with Pillar Tb2015 spokes? I wonder if it's worth upgrading to 1420 wing on a gravel wheelset.

I've used these on two builds now withouth issue. I can't compare to the wing spokes though.

Take pillar wing or 1420. Those are both 4.2gr / spoke+-

I have both on XC wheelsets, just depends on the looks... If you wanna go for Aero looks, choose the wing spokes even tho it probably makes hardly any difference

Thanks for all the answers guys. I think I will stick to 2015 and save 70$ for something else :)

Easedon or other supplier? Did go for Wing 20 with them, but had same consideration.

Yep I get mine from Easedon. They always send a picture of the spokes with the length before shipping, so that's nice.

This are the wheels I am considering. Like the shape of the rims, could be a little wider.

I've been using this Pillar Spokes J-Bend TB2015 PSR Triple Butted since 2021. For my 3 bikes (Endurance, Road and Gravel). More than 10 000 Km combined and ZERO issues.

The last one was for my gravel wheelset. The major reason to not buy a pair from any store it's the HUB. I don't like sealed bearings HUB. Always using cup and cone from Shimano OEM.

Total cost: +- 350 USD (pair)

I forgot to mention that a good NIPPLE it's a game changer.

Look at this picture the difference between a cheap vs a Pillar nipple. Both are brass.
