Title: RD 350 spokes
Post by: triple1972 on March 12, 2020, 12:56:16 AM
Hi There are very few nos Oem spokes out there . Anybody know any thing or have any experience with the ones sold on eBay from Germany? If any member has a set or setsof the originals I am very interested. Or another aftermarket company they would recommend. Thank You!!!

I just bought a set from Buchanan.
Nice kit. Same price (or less) as the german ones, and I got them in about a week.


When did spokes get so expensive?
Three sets of spokes was $675 CDN.

If you go with Buchannons, get the Stainless spokes.

Years ago I tried to "clean up" my original spokes and pretty much rubbed all the zinc off them and they ultimately rusted.  Some time around 2010 I got a pair of Buchannons aluminum rims and stainless spokes.  Now, 10 years, thousands of miles and a flood later they still look great...
