Hi.
I'm sure quite a few people in the club have fitted Stainless spokes to there bikes. I'd like to know the feedback on manufactures and the quality. I was going to fit a set when rebuilding my spare wheels but found the nipple angles on a set I acquired weren't correct and didn't seat well at all when tensioned. I'd still like to fit some but don't wont to go through the hassle of returning unsatisfactory items again.

I have used Hagons in the past.....Malc Wildeman did my 69 wheels a few years back and I know he used a place in North Weald in Essex.....I will go and do a bit of digging and find the name for you

Hi.
Just looking for good quality including Butted type to use myself. Did the set on my S2 using new and refurbed originals. Bought a decent jig online and they came out spot on.
