Anyone know of a good place to buy spokes? I have some 24" Atomlabs I want to try building up...If it's $1/spoke, though, it just doesn't make any sense..

You might have to go custom length, which means dealing with a shop with a spoke cutter and blanks.

Could be $1 a spoke.

FYI, most mountain bikes are about 260mm and road are 290mm. If the spoke length is nowhere near each of these sizes, you will probably have to pay the custom price....

Yeah, I bought an Atomlab GI 24" with an Aircorp hub. It came with Atomlab spokes (I was told they would automatically fit b/c they're all Atomlab), but they're about 30mm shy. Wanted to avoid the extra cost...
