Where is good for spokes?

Posted on
  • Anyone know where sells spokes at reasonable prices? LBS sells them at nearly a quid each.

    Any pointers as to best type would also be appreciated.

    Regards

  • I've yet to find anywhere cheap in London for spokes. Brixton Cycles have the best range, but pricey. My DT Swiss Comp black were 50p each :S Were 30p back in Basingstoke when I got a LBS to order me a load.

    Condor never have the sizes I want. London Fields don't understand me on the phone; I've given up with them. Never tried BLB because of their poor service.

  • bought spoked at BLB for 50p each last weekend. there's also cavendish but they were £1 each when i bought them a while ago

  • Worth trying bicycle magic in aldgate...

  • http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/
    they are very good, albeit not remotely local

  • Evans on The Cut = Sapim black double butted 50p with nipples.

  • if you need hard to find lengths, i got some here

    http://www.starbike.com/php/product_list.php?prodcatid=31&lang=en

    €0.70 per spoke.

  • Pay more than 50p per spoke in London and you have been seen.*

    *unless they are bladed Hoshi.

  • cycle basket or ribble are pretty good ;)

    i've got a few boxes, pm what size you're after

    Spoke Newington.

    Sorry.

  • Outspoken are pretty good. Not in London mind.

  • Edinburgh cycles are the cheapest I've found at 25p each for DT DB SS. Or ebay for boxes of 100. For a standard build you'll need 64-72 anyway and if you're using matching hubs they'll all be the same length, so you could do this and then ebay the remainder.

  • www.cyclebasket.com - IIRC i got ACI SSDB for ~14p each. Watch out for the £6 delivery charge though, so only really useful if you're buying a bunch of stuff.

  • Speakers corner surely?

  • In between your hubs and your rims...

    Absolutely. I coughed up because it was either buy the spokes or ride the tube/bus for a week... Easy decision!

  • If you're still stuck try www.53-12.com, they seem to keep a lot of different sizes of Sapims in stock... They sorted me out when no one else could, no need to buy a full box either...

  • @ fck9
    when did you buy the spoke at www.cyclebasket.com for 14p? now there are 26/27p

    I looking and there are still the cheapest.

    Black ones are twice the price of the silver ones. It's to cover the obligatory HHSB reparations.

    Spokers corner shirley.
