Best place to buy custom spokes.

[tbone1980]

I need to have some custom length spokes made up and of course I'm not looking to spend a ton of money on them. I am trying to lace a 16" rear 36 spoke rim to a front disc 36 spoke hub and obviously I will need a custom length spoke for that. Anyone have some suggestions?

Yeah I looked at buchananspokes but I wasn't all that excited about the prices.

Yeah for custom spokes they are the only ones I know of.

Yeah I think even if you can find a place that will make you a custom set, I don't think they're going to get any cheaper.

Maybe once I get some measurements I can find some that are sold for a different application but will work for my little project. Anyone laced a front disc hub to 16 rear and happens to have the measurements for the spokes they used?? Only reason I haven't measured myself is that I am waiting for the parts to be shipped to me.

I am only aware of someone doing a harley 16 front.

Yeah I am trying something a little different. Does anyone have the stock spoke length for a 19" 36 spoke front wheel? Some told me that I can subtract 1.5 inches and this will give me the correct size I need.
