CB500 Rear spokes/Nipple interchangeability?
« on: July 09, 2015, 03:13:56 PM »
Hi All,

I know there has been some discussion on this before ( I have been searching like crazy)...

Anyways, for the life of me I cant find a good CB500 rear spoke source. I know of buchannon's but $120+ is out of my budget.

That being said, I know david silvers has a set but they have ugly gold nipples... I am going for an all silver spoke/nipple look.  Thus my question..

Anyone know if any other bikes have compatible nipples? I would be willing to order the spoke set from DSS, and then change out the nipples for silver. Also a source would be great

Or lastly, better yet.. anyone have a set of rear spoke nipples for CB500 :)

Sorry I can't be of much help but ... if you are going through all the effort to re-lace a wheel... it's hard to beat the quality of the Buchanan spokes. I did mine with their spokes and they are awesome, well worth the price in my mind.
Good luck with the quest, if you do find a cheaper alternative I'm sure plenty of people would like to know about it.
