I'm building a pair of 18/24 88mm deep carbon tubs.

The spoke lengths required are rather short and I'm really struggling to find any spokes of the right length let alone aero bladed spokes which is what I want.

Front needs 18 x 219mm

Rear needs 12 x 226 or 227 and 12 x 224mm

Any ideas where I can get some from without having to buy boxes?

Thanks

    Thanks Paolo, you're a star. Been googling all my morning with a total blank. Very handy site to know.

    yeah, I was in the same position a couple of years ago with an 80 mm rim from Planet X

    Actually I had some in stock in those lengths as I did a build very similar. The OP e-mailed me then e-mailed again saying he had found a source!

    Chickens cycles for the record stock sapim this short so any one with a chickens account can order.

    yes, but shops are not keen to order in boxes and sell singles, hence it's easier to just order from the Gingko lot
