    Why'd you give them money if they're that bad?

    I wondered where to get these from, one problem do they work on flat spokes?

    No they wouldn't; also confirmed by 'Paul E's earlier post:

    I lost loads as the flat spokes on my mavics dont hold onto them apart from down where the spoke goes into the nipple, have removed them now until they go on some new wheels that have round spokes

    gah! halfords just cancelled my order for these. apparently they can't get the stock from the supplier and are removing them from the website.

    oh well. :(

    Great customer service there! My local branch has loads of them on the shelf, surely a stock transfer wouldn't be that difficult!

    I've got these (the Lidl ones) on my commuter, cut them in half and did all spokes on both wheels. I have a set of Shimano Deore wheels which have flat spokes and they fit fine as long as you rotate them so the opening is at the 'back' of the spoke and the sides of the reflector grip the edges.
