RE: Spare spokes wanted.
]What happened? How is it you came to be needing (3) spokes?

RE: Spare spokes wanted.
Nothing happened
I am going to build a spare set of wheels. I was going to try and save some $$ by having Buchanan make me some spokes as they don't have them as a standard product and they wanted. But now that you mention it, I guess I could buy new ones and send them. But after I thought about it some more today, if I have to buy spokes and send them and then pay the markup for custom spokes I could just buy the OEM ones. I already have the front spokes I can re-use from a wheel I bought but the rear ones are separate part numbers for right and left side. Different length by 4mm and different thickness by .005 inch. So, I guess I am not looking anymore as I think I will buy new. Why are they so darned expensive though?! About $100.
Thanks,
