I've found 2 places so far that sell spokes in the size range I need (204- 220mm). Where have you
found them?

A well equipped LBS would have a spoke threader so you can get spokes cut to length. Unless you are
looking for double butted. BMX specalty LBS should also have the spokes you need.

Gaerlan sells spokes in most short lengths.

As Cletus said, any shop that has a Phil Wood spoke cutter can make you spokes of any length. A shop
*without* a cutter can order spokes from Quality Bicycle Products:

aren't stock sizes for DT and Wheelsmith.

Sapim spokes are sold by Bike Tools Etc. ( biketoolsetc.combiketoolsetc.comOpen ↗ ). It looks like 220mm is a
stock size for straight gauge.

Double-butted that length would be difficult- you would have to find spokes close-but-slightly-
longer and then have them cut down. Not impossible, but difficult.

Dave, the Bicycleman has a spoke cutter, not sure what he's charging but he
will make any size you want
