Short spokes

Where can one buy short length spokes? I looked at my favorite online stores, but the shortest they come in seems to be 240mm.

I need these for a 20" wheelbuild, so I'm looking at 182, 184, and 188.

You should be looking on sites that specialize in BMX bikes, or talk to local bike shops

Try your LBS , they should be able to help you out . They can take a longer spoke(s) and cut it to length you need and retread it .
