Wiggle's Aero, Carbon Spokey Dokeys


A nostalgic piece of everyone's childhood that also improves performance, Wiggle could be on to something here.

Aerodynamic, made from carbon fibre and exclusively available at Wiggle, the adult friendly Spokey Dokeyswill actually enhance performance by making wheel spokes more streamlined. The growing range will also allow cyclists to express themselves in any way they choose, through the wheels on their bike.

With performance in mind, Wiggle worked with a number of internal cycling experts, industry specialists and external engineers to run the updated accessories through a rigorous research and development process, which included hour upon hour of wind tunnel testing at MIRA.


Wiggle trialled the Spokey Dokeys with several of its key customers and the results were astonishing, with 83 per cent of trialists recording an increase in their average speed.

Dani Rowe commented: “Cyclists across the UK now have another way to express their personality to other cyclists even while they’re desperately sucking in as much oxygen as possible on the most gruelling of climbs. What’s more, since using the ‘Carbon Pro’ Spokey Dokey I’ve gone faster for longer, it really is a must have.”
