have you tried Trail and Tar?

[PhilipV]

Any bike shop should have them.

Trying to avoid trail and tar, sry gwhite.

Looking for somewhere in the southern suburbs.

Olympic?

Bridge?

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

Oh? Why trying to avoid?

 

Olympic will be open now, not many other places will be.

 

Tomorrow - crown, bridge, epic, but I reckon bmc are your best bet for spokes.

Make sure you take a sample along. A spoke is not a spoke is not a spoke. Length and butting are important.

 

Not as important as colour though...

 

Your best bet IMO would be Olympic, they've got about the highest levels of stock of pretty much everything in this town.

That's a pretty unusual length for a 26" wheel. It is either a hub with a very small flange or a rim with shallow profile or both. Are you sure of the length?

I will check my stock -

 

Okay I have mostly 26" left overs are 256 258 262

 

650b: 284, 286, 288,

Thanks for the direction guys.

Got the 270mm from bridge, but going to try olympic for the 272mm.

Building a set of wheels with Dartmoor Revolt rims and WTB laserdisc super duty hubs.
