My 72 tracy bodied H2 has an unusual front wheel setup. The spokes are a bit cruddy looking, though. It's an 18" aluminum Akront rim and an H2/Z1 central hub. I want to stay with the 18" setup, but WHAT exactly spokes do I need? (manufacturer) I wont require stainless. This is a pampered machine. Does anyone know of an 18" spoke kit? Someone that does the job for not much$$? Thanks

I have used Buchanans many times. They do a great job.

Brian H did my wheel for me and it came out super and it was very affordable.
I sent him the hub and the rim. He bought the new spokes and laced it up.
Very nice.

They are usually a special length, so Buchanans is th eplace, and they only do SS spokes.
