Bill Shook wanted to have better spokes than those on the market. American Classic spokes are designed to have a stronger thread and elbow and a lighter middle section. We specially make spokes for each wheel build to the specific lengths needed with uniform butted parts. The uniformity of the AC spokes strengthens our wheel builds and makes the finished product look professional.

SANDVIK STAINLESS STEEL
Bill Shook wanted the finest stainless steel spoke material for the AC spokes. He determined Sandvik‘s leading metallurgy, inclusion and trace-element technology produced stainless steel with optimum and consistent properties.

QUALITY CONTROL
By making our own spokes, we have tighter quality control over them than our competitors who buy the spokes off the rack. The spokes are torture tested on our wheel machines and viewed through our high powered microscope. Consistently high quality spokes mean better performance and durability of your wheels.
