« on: January 26, 2013, 12:38 PM »
I'm going to take the plunge and attempt to build some wheels.  I've measured up and need 182mm spokes for the rear and 183mm for the front. So I have a couple of questions:

Wheres the best place to get the spokes?
I see boxes of 100 - i take it that I need to be spot on with the measurements, in other words I can't buy 100 182mm or 183mm and the wheels will be "ok"?

Bmx city on the bay is your best bet for spokes 100 for 6 notes if they have your size. 1mm either way shouldnt make any difference to the lacing  :daumenhoch:
Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Cheers Rich, but can i get away with the 1mm difference if I only bought one length and is it better to buy the shorter or longer length of the 2?  ???

I like the ones I can hang my coat on but not the ones that look like a balloon has been stretched over them but then again i'm being fussy here - the general rule is if they've got a pulse then i'm game... nope hang on i'm still being fussy...
