I looked on this site and didn't see 12 G spokes available. Anyone have any clues?

Thanks. I found the spokes under "sports" not "bicycles".

But alas, I need 12GA 268-269mm in Stainless.

12g spokes are really hard to find in stainless. the only thing i could think of is try older bike shops, they might have some lying around. i dunno anyone who makes them anymore except the chinese, and they're UCP (universal chrome plated.)

i bought some Husky 11g's, and the chrome on them is pretty lousy. the wheels are on the next bike i'm gonna motor up as soon as summer's over, and i've been riding the bike to the beach all summer. the spokes already show signs of corrosion. nothing major, but still...

granted, it's damp, salty air, but my motorbike with chrome worksman spokes gets more use in this weather, and those spokes are still shiny.

those cheap chinese wheels with the 12g spokes? i put some on my buddy's beach cruiser in march. hang on, lemme go take a picture of them...

this bike sits outside at his work in Newport Beach most of the day, but still. i've had beach bikes in the good old days of american chrome that took 5 years to get this bad...

Hey Pablo, I've gotten 12GA stainless 270mm from Spooky....see where he's gettin' from (Roland). A buck a piece they cost me from him w/nipples. Stainless is the ONLY way to go....not cheap though.

Cheers,

Here's your front wheel: http://motorbicycling.com/f23/26-fro...s-w-23564.html

It's a good deal, I wouldn't hesitate on this one!

Cheers!

I was searching for "12ga stainless spokes" on google and this thread popped up first. Looks like Spooky can get them in standard MTB lengths? What about Holmes Bikes, anybody tried them? Holmes Hobbies LLC / Holmes Bikes :: Bike / MoPed :: Sapim Stainless Custom Spokes Looks like they can do any length.

I need to put some heavier gauge spokes on my fuji with a DAX engine on it. I keep breaking the drive side spokes. Maybe even 13ga would work so I wouldn't have to drill out the rims?
