Shimano RS10 Spokes

cmanracer

Broke spokes on the rear tyre on the way home from work last week. Bloody roads!!!
Anyway LBS cant get the spokes and say it'll be 2/3 weeks before they can get them in. Thats too long for me. Anyone got any ideas where I can get these spokes?

they take ages to get i bought some spares a couple of months ago at at bikedock in belfast www.bikedock.com, but they ended up ordering them in £3 each :eek:

but you'll have to ring them, not on the website

are they the same size as rS20?
they have RS20 spokes for front and rear here: http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/category-Other-Spokes-754.htm

Last year I got my RS10s fixed in CSS on the spot ... but man they are ****e wheels ... neither low weight, nor super strong or stiff.

I had the same problem a few months back - bikedock were the only place that could help me out.

I should have probably done YMMV and we would have saved 30secs each. Are you skinny ... I carry a bit of luggage spread across my body. It wasn't meant to be. And the problem is that with such a low spoke count, 1 break and the wheel is close to unridable.

agree their but i think thats a problem with all low spoke count wheels,
i have 36 spoke rear on the commuter (which broke a spoke but it didnt take much fixing ) but the rs10 wheels do look smart with their red nipples n all

Any recommendations for alternative wheels around the same price bracket? In case I do splash out!!
