Sure you haven`t stacked on that much weight, that the standard spokes are snapping like carrots ?????

G'Day Howie, long time no speak. Haven't put on more than you saw me last. Just sick to death of getting tarnish/corrosion of the spokes. Just want something nice and shiny.

And I have never in my life bent or broken a spoke...

Hopefully be down in NSW for a round next year - hope all you you good riding southerners go easy on me...

Cheers,

Cheers,

Howdy Y'all,

Nah, still got the same gear as last time I rode with you. Cowra '05 I think? That was my last ride, so still a bit rusty at the moment, but getting back into it.

Ok, I managed to get a new spoke in, to replace the snapped one. But I'd like to fix this in the loner term too. And replace all of them with Stainless.

Does any one have a supplier for Stainless Steel spokes and nipples?

Neo the Stainless steel spokes I have bought are from Don Newell in Brisbane for a Sherpa T.
Any decent specialist wheel builder should be able to make you a set if you can give them samples of what you need.
