Pillar Spokes
There are a few pre-built wheelsets that appear to use Pillar Spokes -- does anyone know if there is a source for buying single replacement spokes or boxes for wheelbuilds?
I contacted Pillar online but haven't gotten a response. I am hoping some mechanics out there may have encountered a supplier.
Thanks!

I am guessing the lack of response is my answer, but I will bump once just in case. Thanks!

Found some hoshi spokes sold by EAI instead a couple months later and got those. Pillar also has a taiwanese OEM website that doesn't give any information.

My prebuilt wheels have pillar spokes, black, round, J bend. I broke one (<choke> ran over the wheel with my car - repairable bent rim, one spoke broken - whew!). My LBS replaced it with a similar black J bend DT spoke. FWIW, if you're just looking for a replacement, you can use a similar spoke from a different mfgr, as far as I know.

You can get Pillar from alchemy Bicycle Works. I'm not sure if they sell consumer direct though. Give them a call.

All thanks -- I assumed that after searching there weren't many options, but I just wanted to confirm.
