Any of you sell Wheelsmith spokes?

I'm looking for 8 silver double butted spokes roughly 298mm in length?

I know I can buy them on Ebay but I'd have buy a pack of 50. None my local shops stock them.

anyone?

I get my Wheelsmith spokes from Universal Cycles. They sell them by the spoke.

I was a Wheelsmith distributor for many years and still have a large stock.

I'll gladly sell you the spokes you need for $9.00 including postage. If I don't have 298s in stock, I'll cut them for you.

If you need only 8 spokes, then it would be a good idea to just get 10 spokes.... keep a couple of spare spokes for future use. For road bikes, I use a wine cork on the seatpost and poke the spare spokes through the cork.

I don't know if you're Phil K, who emailed me today, or he did on your behalf, but I do have the spokes and sent the quote to Phil who I assume forwarded it to you.

In case anybody else is interested, I have a good selection of WS 15g DB spokes in all the popular lengths. email me via the Chain-L site, or through the email link here at BF.

Got any semi-aero, bladed or super-skinny butted ones? How about straight pull?

Just asking for future reference...

I still have a broad selection of 15g oval, fewer 14g bladed, and decent selection in extra thin butted in both 15g and 14g, also some straight pulls both butted and plain gauge which I can cut and tread to length.
