HI All

just a quick one for those who have bought spokes recently- where is the current go to place for decent double butted spokes?

TIA

Paul

what size?

Custom cut spokes – SpokesFromRyan

Your local bike shop? Where I worked had a whole wall of boxes with every length and type available. Maybe slightly more expensive than online but if you break a spoke whilst out and about handy to call in!

For bog-standard wheels, ACI double-butted from Cyclebasket. You can pay 2x the price for DT or Sapim and I doubt you’d be able to tell the difference.

Crc have some bargain DT DB black spokes (no nips).

Cheers for the replies. I’ve used Cyclebasket before, will check and see what there is available in the sizes I need….

I had good service with Spokes from Ryan. Would definitely recommend based on my experience.

I went there having previously received the same spoke from Spa Cycles, cut in a way that rendered them unusable. That was 9 months ago and Spa Cycles are yet to refund me.

Cyclebasket it is, 80 db stainless spokes and nipples for 26.50 posted. Bargain as always.

@butcher that is pretty shockingly poor

I ordered some more of those DT comps at CRC they’re a bargain at £4 for 18, being without nipples isn’t an issue for me, I’ve always use sapim polyax nips and have a healthy supply. Plus you can always buy them cheap enough on ebay.

Often planet X have random ones cheap.
