	I'm looking at building two wheels and want to use the DT Swiss Competition double butted (2.0/1.8/2/0) spokes. Just wondering where the best place to buy spokes is. It seems some vendors only sell even lengths, others don't have my lengths in stock or only sell 72 pack boxes so just wondered where other wheel builders get their spokes from. I need 291mm x 32, 292mm x 16 and 293mm x 16 lengths.

Or do 16 293s and do the rest in 292s. 1mm is not gonna make a difference. I have those sizes in black in stock. $1.20 a spoke with brass nipples and $1.45 a spoke for silver alloy nipples.

Cool, I'll try come up unless you can mail to me. The 293 are actually for the drive side front. The break down is: Front: 293 non drive side (rounded up from 292.5) 291 drive side (rounded up from 290.5) Rear: 292 non drive side (rounded up from 290.7) 291 drive side (rounded up from 291.1)
