I am short 4 spokes for my rear wheel on my 1972 wombat .They measure 7 5/8 inches . Anyone have any they could part with ? thanks Eric

Two thoughts; First, besides length, there are two bends. One for inside and one for outside so you need to know how many of each type. Second, Paul had individual spokes at one time. Have you checked with him?

need 3 of each types of bends .Paul could not find any .

Hey Eric, I don't have any on the shelf, but I have a decent wheel that I can scavenge from.
If you come up empty, let me know - I'll need to get the tire off and get things apart, but can probably get it done next week.

That sounds great to me ! I have run out of shops to check for them here in Dallas

Cool. And you're a neighbor, too.
Will PM you for shipping details next week
Have a great weekend.

I replaced the rear spokes on my Wombat with stainless steel. I have a complete set of the old galvanized spokes. Send me your mailing address and I will send six spokes in the mail to you. Laurie won't have to tear up a good wheel. If they are going on a show bike they will need to be re-plated.

Thanks Larry!
I'll wait for further instructions from Eric
