sites with discount spokes

Howdy,

I used to buy my spokes at Dan's Comp ... double butted sapim spokes with nipples were dirt cheap and in small sizes ... but it looks like they no longer sell the 14-15g spokes ... they only sell 14-17g spokes.

https://www.danscomp.com/Sapim/bmx/P...and%20Nipples/

Does anyone have an alternative source for 2.0-1.8-2.0 spokes as good as Dan's Comp?

Thanks.

Buy a whole box , of 50 or 100, of each length and the price per spoke is lower.

Thank you sir!



Their prices are so awesome. But sometimes their website drives me a little batty. Or I'm just a big dummy.

You have to call to order spokes anyway. Why not just tell them what you want and let them figure out whether or not they have it?

Yep, their prices are the best by far. I just searched by Brand and that page came up.

Yep. Just for everyone's information, I did verify. They indeed still have 2.0-1.8-2.0 spokes at 40-50 cents.

I for one, want to KNOW they have all the spokes I need BEFORE I try to order.
I'm not about to pay S&H from 2 different places for a few dozen spokes.

With internet commerce what it is, there's really no excuse to have a website where you can't easily find what you need.
