Raleigh Tourist spoke source
I need to rebuild the front wheel of a Raleigh Tourist. What's a good spoke source? The spoke length is 12 1/8 inches (308 mm) from the inside of the bend to the spoke tip. The spoke diameter appears to be about 2mm.

If you are reusing the old hubs you may need spoke washers if you use modern spokes.
I buy my spokes from Lee, great service, good prices and quick turn around. Email him. He will custom cut them to your length. Remember to ask for nipples if you need them.
