Where to get a "sample pack" of spokes

[c3024446]

Any one know the best place to get 4 or so spokes in a variety of lengths, e.g. 4 x 280mm, 4 x 282mm,....4 x 300mm etc, 2.0 standard size and in black or silver?

I've been burning through my spare spokes fixing mine and a couple of mates bikes. I don't want to buy 20 of each or single ones from the LBS, anyone know the best place to buy spokes in small quantity?

Yea! your local bike shop

Any shop will sell you any number of any type of spoke you want
There is no requirement to buy a full wheel worth

Usually the going rate is $2 a spoke from an LBS which isn't that bad, only issue i find is trying to find Competition (ie double butted) ones, usually weird sizes only unless you want Champions (plain gauge)

Have bought a stack of spokes from bike24 before, they have a horrible shipping charge but have cheap DT spokes in pretty much any length if you wanted to stock up on a few sizes and types

I don't want to buy....single ones from the LBS

Why's that? Probably your best option.

Bike24 had what I wanted, cheers. If what I bought isn't enough range, I'll be off to the lbs.

Wasn't MTB direct selling spokes really cheap and individually?
