http://oddsandendos.safeshopper.com/20/cat20.htm?44 has the best prices I've found on odd numbers of spokes. You can order small lots and it doesn't cost you a lot. Shipping is a flat $6.00

http://www.performancebike.com/shop/...tegory_id=5342 is another good place to buy with a 20% off coupon, but you have to buy in lots of 20 and you can't pick spoke color.

I had a good experience with http://www.oddsandendos.com which has the best prices on individual spokes I've seen. The shipping was fast too.

My LBS charges 1.50$ each for straight gauge spokes!

peace,

Yoinks! That'll make a guy think twice. $0.50 here when buying a full wheel's worth.

Hey, Hungary is not such a bad place after all. Today I paid 0.25 USD each for DT Champions with nipples in an LBS, odd number. The Revolutions for the front wheel will cost like 0.70 which is considered expensive as hell - and it is, compared to the wages here.
