fill 'em with Gatorade (or other preferred sports drink)

Thanks fellas. Are they expensive though?
[edit] Seems from looking at the Phantom Cycles site they aren't. So the plain DT Champion spokes are good enough, or he really should spring for the almost 3 times more expensive DT Competition ones?

Should be less than $1 per spoke plus wheel building costs.
You'll end up with bullet proof wheels that'll last ages. I've ridden over a 50x50 (2 x 2 in the old measurements) post lying across the road in the dark going about 25kmh on my training wheelset (DT & Mavic CXP22 rims) and not busted or bent anything - I just got a hell of a surprise at going airborne suddenly.

The difference between the DT Competition and Champion will be weight with the Competition being butted. Any DT spoke should do the job.

Bought myself a new jersey on ebay on night after a few too many beers, turns up and its clearly a fake from a puported online bike store...
Still at least they are refunding but I need to cover postage costs

By the way, that chamois lotion from Italy that I ordered - awesome! If any of you have a serious rash/sore problem, you'll have to get some. Seriously.

You sure are the entrepenure Expat. Even when the AT stoops to the lowest level you can still find a sale in there somewhere! 
hmmm... I wonder how mrs shaw will take the news... I'm considering changing clubs already.

Geez Expat, I feel so sorry for you. Your knob only goes up to 8!
I'm hoping you'll still be able to lead a normal life tho.
