Dialed don't have one of the lengths I am looking for ... I have sent them an email asking when more is expected

 

Then longer spokes ... chat to KIWI ... he unfortunately does not have the shorter lengths I need.

Do both, works the same when you buy online via ebay

 

Have you tried your LBS and asked them to order?

LBS comes in at R17/R18 per spoke .... my budget was built around the R7 mark as per the Rapide spokes ... moerse difference if you are already over budget on your project build

R644 for Rapide Spokes @ 64 units

R1152 for LBS Spokes @ 64 units

 

Difference in Cost = R508

ebay.com search http://www.ebay.com/sch/Spokes-/177826/i.html?_from=R40&_sop=15&_nkw=spokes&_dcat=177826&Type=Spokes&rt=nc

 

set up paypal account and pay via paypal, you have protection from both ebay and paypal and always ask for a tracking number... then is same as watching shipping from other overseas online stores.

 

Or CRC?

That's a huge diff, I got my spokes from Chain Reaction, somehow couldn't source them here.
