• I am about 100 posts into working through this thread, so I'll save my wheelbuilding questions until I've finished the background reading.

    Meanwhile, I need to purchase a few replacement spokes for the drive-side of my existing touring rear wheel (Campagnolo Nuovo Tipo small flange hub, Wolber Super Champion Modele 58 [27"] rim, with 36 spokes in a 3x spoke pattern). I would appreciate suggestions for a mail-order shop which can supply the following spokes cost-effectively, including shipping costs within/to the UK:

    • Plain gauge 14g (2mm), length 298mm, with 12mm nipple.

    The original spokes are a dull grey finish shown in the photo below so they may be galvanised. I would like some strong replacements, though it would be ideal if they could also match the finish.

  • @Emyr, I couldn't find 14g plain gauge spokes on the Cyclebasket web site.

    @gbj_tester, thanks I'll probably go for stainless steel in that case.

    My plan was to fix up and true the wheel using a couple of spokes like the existing ones, and then ride it while I learn about how to do a complete rebuild. I have a Park Tool TM-1 spoke tension meter so I can at least look for anything pathological in the spoke tensions.
