Hello. I have a Goldenmotor rear-wheel kit that I used last summer but my rim took a major beating, so I'm looking to replace the rim before summer hits again.
I have run into a problem here in that my local bike shop cannot make custom sized spokes for my new proposed rim. I could order and cut new spokes, but I want to have the spokes properly threaded in a rolling machine. Because I live in Yellowknife, NT, I don't want to ship my hub somewhere else to get my tire built.
Does anyone have a reference to a place (in Canada, preferably) that makes custom sized spokes? They would be in 14ga and approx. 175mm.
Thank you.
