Spoke Shortage

[SirMike1983]

There are also "Wheelmaster" spokes (not to be confused with Wheelsmith), I don't think the Wheelmaster spokes are quite as good as Sapim or DT Swiss. The corrosion resistance is lower, though you can certainly make a workable wheel using Wheelmaster. They are sold as a cheaper alternative to Sapim or DT Swiss. Given the choice in modern spokes, I'd still go Sapim or DT Swiss. The Sapim spokes on my last couple wheel builds worked out nicely.

Sorry for the confusion. Yep for this build just straight stainless but for the rest of my builds I was looking for the bundle packages of double butted that used to be pretty easy to get--am I missing something? V/r Shawn

@Freqman1 Hey Shawn did not know if you still need these?
