I have searched as I know it was done a while back but it didn't turn anything up. Anyway, I'm looking for DT comp spokes in black with 12 mm nipples. CRC do them with 14 mm.

I've always had success with ACI spokes. I know thats not what you asked, but they're often cheaper and available at about 25p a spoke.

From rose.de they are 9.90euros for 20 = 45.68125p each. With nipples seperately and shipping........I can't be buggered to work it out.

Parker International seem to be selling Comps in packs of £20 with 12mm nipples. Only found road bike lengths at the moment on their site but might be worth a call.

cheers guys, I'll have a look at Parker, or just recalculate for the 14mm nipples at CRC!
