Stainless Spokes, other than Buchannan?
« on: December 18, 2005, 03:51:38 PM »
I took a look at their prices and was flabbergasted. I have had a number of transmissions laced into bicycle wheels with stainless spokes, on average it was $45.00 including the spokes. I doubt the difference is metal costs as bicycle spokes are more numerous and longer. Plus, there is no labor involved.

Any other sources? Polishing is not an issue, I have a buffing wheel.

i looked extensively for a 16" conversion kit for my rear on my cb550, and everyone else i found (here in the u.s. anyway) just bought the spoke stock from buchanans anyway.
