Off to the alps tomorrow evening and just managed to break a spoke on my Crank Bros Iodine wheel. does anyone know of any shops that might have them in stock, or anyone that would have one?
I've tried Llandegla's OPA as well as Tweeks cycles but no luck!
seems that my holiday maybe over before it starts! 🙁
Cheap new wheel might be easiest solution?
Or borrow a wheel off a mate?
Where are you? If you're anywhere near Cheltenham, I could lend you a pair of wheels.

They're not Crank Bros though, you'd never see me with any of that proprietary spoke sh*t 😉
Sorry couldn't resist. 😳
I've just retrieved my spare wheelset that a friend had borrowed and the wheel is in appalling condition. needs new bearings, at least three spokes replacing and truing. so that's a massive disappointment.
thanks speeder, but i'm in north shropshire unfortunately 🙁
I'd lend you mine, but they're 5 bolt 😳
bugger, thanks anyway bearnecessities!
I've got 3 CB wheels I don't use but I'm darn sarf.
Give 2pure a ring they brought them in might have a spare.

Bats.
tried to call them, but they were closed by the time i got back.
they're based in Edinburgh unfortunately, otherwise i could have called in on the way to dover!
The offer still stands, you could make a detour to pick them up. Don't think it's that far out of the way.
Though thinking about it what spec are you after?
Front - qr, 15mm or 20mm &
Rear - qr or 12mm rear and 135mm or 150mm?
I've got spares but I'm in Manchester if I can help???
thanks again speeder, but we're on the long haul down the m1 so it'd be a long detour unfortunately.
chrisdiesel, you may have saved my life. i could head up to manchester tomorrow to buy one from you if i can't source any others locally. would you be ok with that?!
If chrisdiesel sorts you out I will replace them FOC and a wee extra for being a legend.

Hi andy give me a contact or an e mail and ill arrange to get my new spokes to you tomorrow I work near the Trafford centre
Mark I've just checked I've got x2 complete iron grey brand new iodine spokes
Does the OP need nipples or spokes? The bits you mention chrisd sound like nipples.
X2 of both . thin bit and thick bit that screws together.
Mark I got them from you for my Mtb holiday!!!
Winner. You rule the hardest.
If you can hook up and sort the man out you win.
