Posted on
  • Hey,
    any one got any plastic spoke keys? preferably on the cheap :) just before i go out and buy one for 3.15mm nipples (thats the reading i get off my digital calipers)

  • is there ever a thread without that picture in it ?

    If it's a thread you've started, possibly not

  • maybe no the best, but a decent one to buold wheels, methinks

    this one, and this one and this one
