cheers matey  :4_17_5:  If I don't screw em up too bad will post a pic ;D

steve:
you can't fook them up really
-the only thing you can get wrong, is from where you start-the way in which the nipple points from the rim towards the hub
-and putting the spokes through the right way
 :LolLolLolLol:

-the 'trick' is to have an already done wheel and putting the new bare rim over it, with the hub, to get the first set of spoekes in

dj_benice:
cool will let you know how i get on soon as I source spokes, google only hits me up with us stockists who want $48 per 100 so thats $96 plus silly p & p ouch 

bof:
Im sorry to say this but that infamous bmx dealer in wigan is one of the only places to get spokes the right length, I looked for ages but he was the only person who had them. Look under spokes and they are listed for 1 3/8th wheels.
Good luck just take your time and follow the instructions on this forum.
