Spooked by spokes

[Tootyred]

Cheers for all the suggestions. Will have a look.

Yes spokes do seem to have shot up in price rather. £1.00 a spoke is now the going rate in many online cycle shops.

Thanks guys. Might be able to get this project up and running again.

Try some of the german retailers, generally much cheaper

Too right. I've used Rose Bikes in the past if they weren't available on eBay UK or UK retailers. JE James were good recently.

I'm in a simillar boat so tagging a link and a quick question to this thread:


Question: spoke calc tells me that M730 XT rear mated to Mavic M6 is 261.3 and 260.2: can I just go with 261mm both sides?


Link for DT spokes on the bay:

A vote for Anthony Rogers at TrueWheels in Brighton - brilliant mail order service on spokes, great with advice, Dick the wheel builder is one of England's finest....
