Hey.
I've not used this forum before so apologises if it's in the wrong place or not appropriate.
I'm currently off sick and thought i'd utilise my time with attempting to build some wheels. Any idea where i can buy multi-coloured spokes from as i'm trying to avoid silver/black or white. Same thing for nipplesi've found blue but don't think they would work, but would prefer gold or something funky.
Many Thanks.
Superstar components do some coloured spokes.
Coloured nipples tend to be aluminium, which has a tendency to seize over time making future ding removal tricky.
before you go starting with coloured nipples these will be alloy and it may be worth having a read if you will be confident to build your first wheel with them.

if so here are some at a reasonable price

this.
I bought a pair of wheels off here with alloy nipples. They were impossible to re-true as the nipples had all siezed.
I'd just stick with silver or black brass ones.
