Checked the archives; if it's there I missed it.
I'd like a DFW area wheel artisan to build a wheel for me: S-A XRK8(W) hub and Sun CR-18 ISO349 rim, 36 spokes. Spokes will be short - probably 125mm or so.
I've called a couple area shops & wheel builders and nobody claims to have a machine to cut the spokes down.
If nobody local wants the job, I'd build the wheel myself, but I'd still need the short spokes.
Any suggestions or recommendations?
Thanx!
