Where to buy Wheelparts
Where do you wheelbuilders buy your wheelparts online? I'm looking for a retailer with a decent selection of spokes and nipples at good prices. A store with good customer service is a plus, too.

Yeah, that's Mike Garcia. Go check my thread on finally receiving the wheels he built for me. I'm very impressed with his service and his product.

By sure to call them because their email responses are generally slow as they are usually very busy and the operation consists of just Mike and his wife Alex. 866-292-0124

Thanks, all. Any other retailers that might carry more spoke options? I'm specifically looking for parts to build up some disc brake wheels for XC.

I like www.branfordbike.com. They always have whatever I need, and their prices are decent and shipping is not outrageous like other places.
Don't know about service/recommendations, as I have never contacted them for that sort of thing, but their website has TONS of info on the products they sell and what is available. Look under "S" in the catalog index for "Spokes".
They do seem focused on road bikes, though.
