  1. So, I went to the LBS today to buy me some spokes. They had the right
    size, but wrong colour. Plus, I doubt they are the strongest spokes in
    the world. I asked them if I could order some black ones through them
    and they said that you can't find any in Cyprus.

    So, I'm thinking of buying spokes through the internet. I need some
    strong 234mm G14 spokes. I went to unicyclist.uk.com and they had some
    231mm ones. Would that fit my wheel? I found 'these'
    (http://tinyurl.com/2mpzdo), but they are really expensive. Are they
    worth it? I have a 24" qu-ax that I do trials with. I bent the spokes
    that I had to replace by hitting the uni against a rock. What spokes do
    I need that will withstand that sort of blows?

    Also, do you know any good online shops that sell spokes and ship to
    Cyprus?

  2. The spokes don't play a huge part in strength for the wheel. A good
    wheel build, with tight ass spokes is the way to go.

    I got ripped off by my LBS for spokes.

    Bedfordunicycles.ca sells (Page 5, Paragraph 3) DT spokes that can be
    cut to any length (in moderation). 36 Black DT champion spokes for
    $35CAD, or $30USD. Small Package postal service will be a few bucks.
