Spoke (8/10G x 6 in. straight) c/w nipple
Straight 8/10 gauge front wheel spoke, 6 inches long, with nipple, for Triumph wheel rebuilds.
This is a front wheel spoke for Triumph twins, listed as an 8/10 gauge straight spoke at 6 inches long, complete with its nipple. It shows up in the front wheel section of the parts books across catalog appearances from 1966 to 1968, and it's also known under the older W1236 designation for anyone working from a legacy parts list.

A spoke like this is a straightforward wheel-building component, running from the hub flange out to the rim and pulled up tight with the nipple to hold rim tension and keep the wheel true. When you're relacing a front wheel, spokes typically get replaced as a full set since they all need to be tensioned together for the wheel to run straight.
If you're matching spokes for a rebuild, check the length and gauge against what's already in your wheel or against a spoke you know is correct for that hub and rim combination before ordering a batch.
