[Closed] wheelsets.. why don't they include a few spare spokes out of courtesy?

would cost virtually nothing and enable owners to have a spare and so not get caught out in case of breakage when touring or away from LBS/supplier...particularly with unusual spoke types. just a thought .

Aye, ironically my only wheelset that's easy to get spokes for is my Hope set, and they're the only ones that gave me extras. But it's a very good idea.

I presume they're afraid that if they did that they'd be admitting the spokes might break.

You could always buy std handbuilt wheels so you can always get spokes easily.
