Spoke Trading Spreadsheet for Paceline Members

[DRZRM]

Another sale link here gave me an idea. You know, all of us who build our own wheels must have unused "left over" spokes sitting around we are likely to never use. Several times I've had trouble buying the handful of spokes I needed to complete a build. I created a Google spread sheet that is accessible and editable by anyone here who follows the link below where we can list them, trade them, pass them on for the price of shipping...whatever? Just list what you have and/or need and whether you are selling, donating, buying, trading, whatever.

Mods, is this OK? I don't think I'm doing anything wrong but kill the thread if this is a problem.

I'll go down to the basement to measure what I have and I'll post it later. I think this should be limited to new, unbuilt spokes. And given that this is available to anyone who follows the link, I'd use forum handle and PM/email though the forum rather than posting any personal information in the doc. Anyone can edit anything, so...have at it.

Well this is a great idea. Should totally be a sticky.

I'll measure tonight and post up. Thanks for doing this!!!

Great idea...but I don't think I'm able to edit it.

[DRZRM]

Yup, sorry, just updated settings. Should be editable by anyone now.

Good idea. I was just thinking about what to do with mine.

[eBAUMANN]

Genius!

[aosty]

Cool idea!

[dustyrider]

YES! Time to hop on over to a spoke calculator.... there's another list to scour.


Very timely this forum is!

[Gsinill]

Sticky!!!

Judging by how badly I screwed up the ordering of spokes for the carbon rims I just got, I'll have more'n a few leftovers.

IDK how many of each, but I *should* have Wheelsmith DB 265, 274, 276, 280, and a few sets of blanks in 278 and ?290? available

I'm going to pick up the freshly re-cut spokes tomorrow and build some more wheels (fingers crossed) soon. I'll know exactly what I have left then and will post up more info

Exactly.
DRZRM, a spoke thread/sticky (esp. for CX wheel time) could be truly beyond forward thinking.

Anybody else?

Last thing I need for my DT Swiss 240 to Pacenti SL23 build is 16 285 black butted spokes for my drive side rear...anyone? I'll have some longer extras from the front wheel and the non-drive side I'll post when I'm done, though some are promised to Lovetoclimb.

Let's keep this up to date and attract a bigger pool, I know more of you have spokes out there.
