Replacement spokes and nipples- MTB

[RudoJ]

So after breaking a spoke on back wheel over the weekend, and listening to what my new LBS had to say and showed me...I might need to rebuild my wheels within the next 6 months. So where do you get replacement spokes and nipples besides ordering at LBS

 

Saw a few on CWC online and Dial's Bikes....just need to keep looking

Individual spokes or whole set? Maybe it was built bad to start off with, spokes should out last rims.

 

 

I used to order DT Swiss from CRC, lately been getting from JB @ yellow Cycles but that's all over....

 

There are other places to order on line.

 

But I have a stock of left overs from builds I can sell, let me know what length / type

If you know the length and type needed, then order from CRC

I can cut, thread and supply spokes. You need to make sure that the spokes in your wheel are the optimum length ie the spoke end is flush with the nipple slot. Take one out of each side and measure carefully from the inside of the J bend to the end of the thread. Often the ones you order online are in packs of 72 of the same length which is not helpful for a single build. Also, wherever you get them from, go for double butted. I charge R300 labour for a standard wheelbuild if needed.
