They also have good deals on Buchanan's stainless steel spokes.

On that subject, can anyone tell me where i can get stainless spokes for front late h1 running 18" valanced alloy rim? Or at least someone who will make them?
Last time i did this turned out to be a bit of a shambles. i used two different vendors from England. one set was slightly short, the other slightly long. :roll:

See above post. They can make any size spoke and are very good at what they do.

I believe that Buchanan's is one of a very few companies that has the equipment to make spokes to order. Other companies like Z1 and Woody's get them made by Buchanan's. I'm not saying Buchanan's is my favorite supplier, but...

They are my favorites, I used to go to them in person decades ago, because they were less than 12 miles from my home. Never had a problem, nor spoke failure with a Buchanan's spoke, and they always fit correctly.

Plus 1 on that, I'm in the U.K and the products I have bought have been spot on.
