when and why did DT spokes get so expensive? I wanted a box of black Comps in 260 but everyone seems to want silly money. A bikes worth at CRC is £40 and then I need to spend £10 elsewhere for the 12 mm nipples I want!

technically months ago but some people are just getting through old stock now.

we have an annoying mix of old and new. make a non driveside cost more or less... sometimes!

seems like very few people even sell them by the box now. Still, given the price for a box I guess not many people buy them that way either!

shame, I always used to buy them in boxes as it's always useful to have a few spares. I guess i just built my wheels too well and they've lasted too long. I only need some more now as I'm switching to Stan's rims which have a smaller ERD.
