I’m building some wheels for my kids 24er and had lots of issues just finding spokes. I started off because a retailer had a sale on CX Ray’s at 99p…. (otherwise wouldn’t have gone for such expensive spokes)
Anyway…… to cut along story short I ended up getting spokes from 3 suppliers (given the less than common lengths needed)
8 of these came from one ebay supplier and ALL 8 are bent about 10 degrees (in the direction of the flat part)
Is this anything to worry about or will they pull straight under tension ?
I’ve got the hubs, rims and nipples …. and waiting to lace but wondering if I should or not!
