Spoke Swap Shop

[nathanman]

Im in need of 32 x 266mm spokes and 16 x 264mm spokes (stainless steel) and was wondering if anyone wants a swap or has some going cheap. I have 16 x 268mm, 16 x 270mm and 16 x 262mm spokes i can swap if anyone is interested? All of mine are stainless steel.

Hi,
I'm fairly sure I have both sizes in ACI brand DB SS.
I'll double check tonight.

You haven't said whether your spokes are butted or plain gauge, and just for the avoidance of doubt you should really confirm that they are new and never fitted.

Apologies, i didn't think to put it in the post The spokes i have are not new but are free of bends, kinks, scrapes or damage of any kind. It doesn't say on the spokes if they are butted or not but i am assuming they are straight gauge as they don't appear to have any obvious thick or thin bits.

Ok, I have the 266's and 264's, both double butted, stainless steel and new.
I don't have a use for used ones and besides I already have plenty of 262's and 268's, so how about £6 posted?

Eachto their own matey. Personally i wouldn't have an issue as long as they weren't damaged in any way.

A section from an article by Jobst Brandt on Sheldon Browns site:

"The reason you can reuse spokes is that their failure mode is fatigue. There is no other way of causing a fatigue failure than to ride many thousand miles (if your wheel is properly built). A crash does not induce fatigue nor does it even raise tension in spokes unless you get a pedal between them. Unless a spoke has a kink that cannot be straightened by hand, they can all be reused."
