  • I know this has been done before but I'm really trsugglin to find a cheap online supplier of stainles double butted spokes. I need 32 170mm and 32 180mm for a hybrid crow's foot pattern i want to try out and i can't find anyone that's got both in stock and doesn't want to charge the earth.

    Any pointers greeatfully recieved.

  • No idea if they have them in stock but try www.outspokencycles.co.uk

    What you building? A child's bike?

    cyclebasket.com are good, but they do spokes for bicycles, not toys unfortunately.

  • Doh! good spot gizmond, 270 and 280!

  • One I've been using lately aside from the ones mentioned above is http://www.velomax.co.uk. The site is a bit naff but has a good range of lengths. They are the ACI Alpina ones, double butted with brass nipples. 27p each at the last count. Postage is about £2.00 and they get sent out quickly. Cyclebasket charge £6.00 postage as they use a courier, so only order from them if you are getting other stuff rather than just spokes.

  • I used www.outspokencycles.co.uk - pretty good, no probs

  • cycle basket are cheapest IMO.

  • hmm high flange and deep v 3 cross if i remember correctly is around 274, none of the shops above seem to sell them

  • seller on ebay offering custom spoke lengths - http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/womenfitting

    shop name a bit of a concern tho!

  • Spa Cycles? 25p each for ACI Alpina DB, 35p each for Sapim Race.

    Couple of quid for postage - or free with a big enough order

  • But having just checked, short on 274mm

  • Give Wheelcraft in Scotland a phone. Nae website of sorts but there is this. Telephone is 01360 312709.

    Big Al has a room full of spokes with a Phil Wood spoke cutting machine, a marvel of engineering, custom sizes are a matter of turning a handle.
