I usually buy DT nipples in bulk so I buy spokes without nipples. Lee doesn't help me with calculating spoke length, but I've had success with the spocalc spreadsheet you can get off the intertubez. I converted it to google docs for myself and can share it if there is interest.
Lee accepts paypal, communicates well, and ships pretty quickly, and I've been satisfied with all of my transactions with him.
On a recent wheel build, I miscalculated spoke length (too long), so I have a spare rim, hub and spokes, and I don't know what I'll do with them. It's my fault, not Lee's. That's the first time I miscalculated in years of building wheels, so I can't complain.
Lee is at
lkspoke@yahoo.com. Tell him I sent you.
if noglider likes him, you're in good shape!
