[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 30939, member: 586"] St. George Wheel Works in NSW Australia make their spokes on site. Five wheels done so far and no problems. You choose material (stainless or mild steel), you choose style (plain, butted or double butted), you choose gauge ( 8, 9 or 10) and it is done. Good quality, correct angles and they will organise chrome and paint to show standard if required. Of course there is a time frame to consider because they do a lot of wheels for all the classic race bikes in Australia. Otherwise use your club spares company or Russell and add freight. The choices are there. Mr. Farrow is correct in saying the VOCS is on the money with this product and I know he and the team are working very hard to get all parts up to the standard the 2 Phils demanded originally. Tim, if your alloy rim does not have the original hole angle or detent shape then obviously the "standard" spokes won't fit. Same problem with my Borrani rim on my other "V" bike. The spokes just don't fit properly in the hub and look terrible but they are 35 years old and haven't broken yet.... [/QUOTE]
