Needed--Spokes for G5 front wheel.
« on: March 22, 2015, 12:12:30 PM »
About ready to reassemble the front wheel after polishing (yes polishing) the front hub even though it can barely be seen.  I need four factory stainless spokes (swaged, 168 mm).  Anyone have a few extra they could part with?  Nipples not needed but wouldn't mind having a few extra.  Thanks.......Jack.

If you really get stuck I can give you a name for someone who will make spokes to order, here in New Zealand.

Curtis at Harper's sold me a few stock spokes and nipples when I rebuild my front Mille wheel, and his price was great.

Thanks Dave and Jim.

I can have spokes made here in US, just wanted to keep them all the same since new manufacture would have a different thread.
I'll give Curtis a call, I didn't see any on his website, maybe he has a few hanging around but not enough to list..........Jack.

I don't remember seeing my Mille spokes on the site either, but it's been a while, so I'm not sure.
