Need a few spokes....overtwisted my nipple
 

My rear wheel had a bunch of loose spokes, so I was going over it, tweaking the nipples until I got them tightened enough to ring. I have a few stubborn ones that won't tighten. I was attempting to turn one of the stubborn ones when the spoke snapped at the nipple.

Where can I get only a few nipples and spokes? Yamaha only sells the complete packages of spokes and nipples for $70 and not singles. That's alot of coin for a single spoke.

hi there try a wheel builder these guys are bound to have a spoke or two spare for a small amount of money . :thumbup1: zigzag

Thanks Zig. I'll have to see if I can find one near me.

If anyone has a few spokes and nipples for an 84-89 XT600 I could buy from them , I'd sure appreciate it.

I've hit up several shops and nothing yet.

I've been Googling for half an hour and can't find a supplier in the UK - even for a full set of spokes. Anyone?

Just found these people: Central Wheel Components Limited, who will do quantities of 10 from 13GBP galv to 16GBP stainless. I have never dealt with them, so no recommendation, but I am going to give them a ring tomorrow for my own spoke set. Thought it might be of some use to someone.

I can highly recommend Welcome Page for wheel rebuilding. Give Nik a shout. He did a superb job re-lacing a set of DRZ wheels for me. I'm sure he can help you out.

Many thanks for the info. I have written to him for a quote.

Cheers.
