bespokes Posted July 12 Share And so, the desperate witch hunt continues. Are there any hubbers out there who know where I can find these spokes? They are for Giant SLR carbon wheels. I would be greatly appreciative! 286mm x 21 spokes T-head Bladed straight pull spokes Edited July 12 by bespokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PregoRoll Posted July 12 Share If in doubt, reach out to Dragon Sports and see if they keep spares (SA Distro for Giant) Reach out to the new DT Swiss agents (Aero Agencies) Or replace the spokes with a competitor like a Pillar Wing 21 (Orim Global) bespokes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted July 12 Share If you get spokes with regular round heads, whack them flat with a hammer to make them t-shaped. I've done this plenty and it works great. bespokes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted July 13 Share The DT T_head aero spokes are expensive and will only last 18months before needing to be replaced. I'd rather replace the hub with something that doesn't need those vile things and have the wheel built for reliability with conventional j bend or straight pull spokes. Avoid DT T heads like they are the plague. Edited July 13 by DieselnDust bespokes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
