A thread-rolling machine won't do much good for someone wanting double-butted spokes. How many shops still have these things, anyway?

Asahi closed. the new 'Wheelsmith' in Milwaukee will start shipping in 'spring' which hasn't happened yet, product we like is scarce on the ground, shortages, mis-ships, short-ships, etc etc. Spending _way_ too much time looking for a few cases of spokes every week now.

I just ordered some spokes, and was surprised how little is available from the big retailers. Performance and Nashbar each only had a few sizes (different ones, too, which is odd since they are the same company now). I got mine at Lickton's ($13 for a pack of 20 DT double-butted), but will keep these other sites in mind.

Dear Andrew,
Is there a good story behind this disruption of the spoke market?
Cheers,
Carl Fogel
Not Andrew but we have seen no problem or disruprtion in spoke manufacturing from our supplier of DT, Paceline in CA. Don't use WS, Sapim supply from KHS is poor..so DT we use.
