• Where's a good place to get spokes these days? I'm after some black (butted) ones for a MTB wheel build

  • ACI Alpinas from Cyclebasket are my go-to round spokes these days. Much cheaper than DT or Sapim, and they seem to work nicely. The central section is slightly thinner than DT Comps/Sapim Race at 1.7mm rather than 1.8mm, but unless you're very marginal on spoke count that shouldn't be an issue. They don't suffer the same degree of spoke wind-up issues as something silly narrow like 1.5mm Lasers.
