ANYONE NEED SOME NEW REAR SPOKES?????

sportpsyc · 05-27-2008, 11:45 PM

I needed 5 rear spokes that were bent or broken (as a result of the careless 16 year-old PO), and the only option besides hunting for months for a rear wheel that was damaged (so it couldn't be sold as a replacement but still had good spokes in it ) was to buy an entire SET of spokes. So now I have a butt-load of spokes left over. Anybody got any bad ones you'd like to replace? Let me know, cause I can mail them in an envelope to you for CHEAP! (We can even do PayPal to make it easy--how about .75 each plus a buck for shipping? Reasonable?) Maybe this will help since you have to buy an entire set even if you only need a couple.

Yes please I'll take 12 and that will be an even $10, by the way do you still have the break handle for $15 ?
I got the bike with a few (about 8) rusty rear spokes from standing under a cover for two winters, and the break handle was my own doing/falling, it still in good shape but the ball has an ugly scratch.
Please PM me with where to send the cash, and if the handle is still available (and, do you also have a steering bar end weight that's not scratched ?) and I'l PM you with my data, thank you.

If sportspyc runs out, I also had the same situation, except I only broke one spoke and had to order the whole set, could not find any dealers which would sell me one. .75 each, but only when sportspyc runs out (he offered first). Later.

You can PM me after he runs out.

Not a bad idea.

But, we can always just post a little "WTB" or "WANTED" beside a post in this section.
