hi All,

According to several spoek calc tools, I need:

291 and 293 mm for front L/R and 287mm rear, both sides same length.

Prefer DT stainess plain guage champions.

Anyone know of a good supplier?

Cheers

Got my Revolutions from ActionSports.de, cheaper than the UK trade price, available individually and they sent me 10 spares (on an order of 64 spokes) FOC.

Edit: why get PG - I'd go for Competitions, lighter and stronger.

of course long for mtb is normal for the touring, road suppliers

example:
http://www.spacycles.co.uk/products.php?plid=m2b0s156p0

but not DT, though Sapim are great spokes.. Sapim Leader plain gauge 30p

SJS carry DT Champions:

http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/14g-dt-champion-stainless-2-mm-spoke-and-12-mm-brass-nipple-pack-of-6-prod814/

both suppliers are good - SJS tend to be a bit quicker ime

I got my last lot of spokes from Rose bikes. I went for DT Swiss competition. It depends if you want silver @ £5.90/20 spokes or black @ £8.90/20 spokes you will need to add £1.79 per 40 nipples you need. But it still works out less than £40 for enough black spokes to do 2 wheels with plenty spares. There was an additional £5 delivery charge but even with that i was a good £10 cheper than CRC.
