SimWorks by Hoshi
A bicycle is supported by its wheels.
The wheels are supported by spokes and nipples.
This support ensures safety, security, and even the life of the rider.
Whether it's a few hundred meters of shopping or thousands of kilometers of travel.
That's why we want to continue thinking about the ideas that support the spokes and nipples from Hoshi Industry in Japan and the bicycle life.
What is Hoshi Spokes?
The first domestically produced original spokes released by SimWorks are manufactured by Hoshi Industry, the last spoke maker in Japan and the only manufacturer approved by NJS. We deliver the Hoshi Spokes, beloved by wheel builders around the world, to you with the ideas of SimWorks.
Condor Spokes
The foundation is the Starbright spokes. Based on a highly viscous stainless steel wire selected with unique criteria, the original stainless steel wire is further manufactured with a special blend, offering high flexibility and strength. These spokes have high durability and, during rides, create a unique softness, allowing you to build wheels that are less fatiguing.

The base is the WingStar spokes, which undergo a unique special process on carefully selected stainless steel (SUS304) to significantly improve material characteristics such as breaking strength. These spokes are like high-quality al dente pasta - flexible yet with a solid core. They can be considered the best spokes aimed at achieving the balance of performance and durability that cyclists seek.

For those who use bicycles as a means of transportation for touring, daily commuting, etc., we recommend straight spokes. With the combination of high-quality rims, they provide lightweight wheels with solid responsiveness and durability. On the other hand, for those who want to build wheels with a thickness that changes to 14-15G, we recommend single-butted spokes, offering a balance of thickness along with durability."
Original Embossing
Unlike regular retail products, we have the SimWorks original embossing engraved, and the nipple size is specially manufactured to the world standard specification of 3.2mm.
Nipples
We had two types of aluminum nipples manufactured—one in brass with enjoyable patina development and coloring, providing the pleasure of aging.
