I have not been able to find anyone around town that is willing to take on the challenge of tightening them. Is there any advice on this. Possibly a procedure to follow? All my spoke tightening experience comes from being a kid and making bananas out of bicycle tires.... Thanks in advance. Regards, Joel Pawlak Syracuse, NY TC3242 Contact Frank Kutas at "Spoke 'N True" in Markham, Ontario. The guy actually manufactures nuclear imaging equipment but has a wire wheel business on the side. I'm sure there must be a connection there someplace. He's very reasonable and your US dollar goes a long way in Canada. Spoke 'N True: 905-762-0663 Brian Weber '49 TC 10080

Thanks (again) for everyones help. Looks like a good rainy day project.

Hi Bill, Buchanan Spoke and Wheel in Azuza, California can make any type of spoke you need. I recently bought 300 TC spokes and nipples from them, made from original samples. They do not offer a nipple as short as the original ones so I simply used the shortest they had and it doesn't bother me too much. Cost was about $480 (plus tax and shipping if applicable) as compared to Moss who charges over $1,300 for the same. Plus, the last Moss spokes I got were was too thick. - Steve Simmons - TC8975, LA, CA - http://www.mgnuts.com
