fanievb Posted July 2, 2014 Share Severely pissed off. It seems that the 29er orientated market has caught up to me as I am unable to find any spokes for my still broken back wheel (3 weeks without my faithful 26). On the upside I have been offered a fantastic deal on the only 29er that I'd ever consider and I should be taking delivery on Friday. I know I said I won't buy one soon but it's crap to struggle like this to get 3 spokes and as the saying goes, if you can't beat them... I'm continuing the hunt for spokes or maybe even replacing the wheelset altogether (insurance) as my 26 will always have a place in my heart (except if the right buyer comes along) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 3, 2014 Share And what is the Only 29er you'd buy? BTW _ spokes can be bought online and through most LBS avenues here in SA. As long as you know the length and type you want... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 3, 2014 Share oh - and if you're replacing 3 spokes on the same wheel, chances are it needs a full rebuild as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 3, 2014 Share I see CRC don't have them. Maybe try CWC - they deal extensively with Mavic, or at least used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoLefty!! Posted July 3, 2014 Share Those wheel went out of production a few years ago. Obtaining spokes will be like finding hens teeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
