Right, roadie question i will admit but hopefully someone might be able to answer it.

Ive got a Zipp rear hub which i want to build onto my American Classic rim but i cant find anywhere that stocks the Straight Pull spokes the hub needs. Does anyone know a shop that stocks (or might be able to get) some spokes to suit? who even makes SP spokes these days?

Ta,
Rich.

You'll be lucky!

You can get straight pull Sapim CX-Rays, but I don't think they're imported, may have to go to Europe. Try someone like Starbike.

hmm, Hope are using SP spokes now so they must be available, tho i imagine Hope get stocks direct from DT-seiss (before they go through the process to turn them into j-bend spokes).

I wonder if i could reverse engineer (with a big hammer) a set of DT revs :0)

Hope are 268mm if they're any use to you, think they're Sapim not DT if I remember rightly.
