Spoke (8/10G x 4.5 in. 78°) c/w nipple
Front wheel spoke, 8/10G x 4.5 in. with a 78-degree bend, supplied with nipple.
This is a front wheel spoke, listed as 8/10G by 4.5 in. with a 78-degree bend, and it comes with its nipple. The catalog also carries it under the older W1730 number, so if your parts book or a bin of take-off parts shows that instead, it's the same piece.

Spokes like this one thread from the hub to the rim and get drawn up with the nipple at the rim band, building the tension that keeps the wheel true. This one shows up in the front wheel section of the parts books, and the catalog record ties it to 1968 without spelling out which specific model.
Because spoke length and bend angle vary by hub and rim combination, it's worth double-checking this one against what's actually on your wheel before ordering a batch. Call the shop if you're not sure your front wheel takes this length and pattern.
