  1. I have located a good and inexpensive source of Sapim spokes (thorusa.comproduct10.htm),
    but they do not appear to sell the 15/16 gauge swaged spokes I am interested in. Does anyone know of
    a source for these spokes that does not ask the earth for them?

    Thanks,

    Nigel Grinter

  2. you can also get them at biketoolsetc.combiketoolsetc.com

    check sapim.besapim.be for different product types. 15/16 is not currently on the list.

    dt make swaged spokes. sapim spokes are drawn. swaging is one particular manufacturing method, not
    the name of the product. "butted" covers all multi-gauge spoke types regardless of the many
    different manufacturing methods.

    Thanks for the information. It was from the Sapim site (sapim.besapim.be) that I got the idea
    that there are 15/16/15 gauge spokes. If you click on 'butted spokes', both 2.0/1.8/2.0
    (14/15/14 gauge) and 1.8/1.6/1.8 (15/16/15 gauge) are mentioned, although the latter do not feature
    in the fatigue data given elsewhere on the site.

    If you do find a source, please post it. I too would be interested.
