In stock alert! We wanted you to know that these products are now available:

Spoke Set - Rear - Stainless - 18 inch - 36 Spoke - Drum Brake - XS650 Quality Polished Stainless Steel Spokes (Stainless version of 19-0050) that fits XS/TX 650's (1970-84) with 18" Drum Brake Rear. Price: $73.91

I don't know about shipping, but XS650 Direct has them for $14.00 less and they're probably the same spokes.

Yes, as I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, I get all my spokes from XS650Direct now, they have the best prices and they are the exact same ones Mike's sells. They offer free shipping at $125, which isn't hard to accomplish - a couple sets of spokes and a few other small items. And their 16" rear stainless spokes are a real bargain at only about $35. I can't believe they sell them so cheap.

If they're listed on that site, I couldn't find them. I only found them for the 18" rear wheel.

You're right, maybe they've sold out? I bought 2 sets from them last year.
