Odd-size spokes

Where are you located? At one time Larry Black had a spoke cutter that
would make small changes in double butted spokes and almost any length
change on a non-butted spoke. Doubt he would do it on mail-order,
though, and he is located in Mt. Airy, MD (and less often in College
Park, MD). Of course, a lot of shops serious about wheel building have
them.

I want to carry some spare spokes for my GS GTO when I tour this
summer. Rachel at GS sent me the three(!) sizes for my trike wheels.

Any good LBS should be able to cut a longer spoke down and rethread it for you.
