I am wondering if anybody here uses aero disc covers for their spoked wheels. If you do, where can I buy replacement spoke clips (the clips that snap onto the spoke). Thanks!

Not sure what you mean but you might try checking out wheelbuilder.com A lot of people have good things to say about the guy.

Well, I am just looking for the clips that are attached to this post.

Sorry to get off the subject but I was looking into purchasing some of those. You must think they help since you use them. Would you recommend them for sprint triathlon competition?

Actually, I don't use them. I am wanting to make some that wont blow off from wind. I have all of the materials, except the clips.

I have the wheelbuilder covers and they use little plastic nuts and bolts to hold them on, I don't know about any other brands, I assumed the others did the same as well.

I have some disk covers that use those clips. UNI disks (flexible plastic covers) I used to race on them all the time and would use them again if I hadnt lost most of the clips. Worked really well althought the interface round the hub was not a great solution ( I lost those too). I dont think they are made any more.
