Anyone know of any that can be bought separately? Thinking of the sort of thing that Shimano use on their factory wheels or similar?

Thanks for that... just bagged a nice Zipp 182 raer on fleabay so on the lookout for an 82 or 88 front - oh, and someone with half an idea how to spec spoke lengths for building hehe

Are the online spoke calculators any use ? Here's a couple to try;

I've used the DT Swiss one out of interest, but I've just used fairly standard 32 spoke rims with shimano hubs and people like Parkers have just supplied the correct length spokes, even down to marking them up for LHS/RHS rear hubs.

I'm sure the DT Swiss one will be useful or there is a wealth of info on the Zipp site... only problem with the latter is they assume you will be using Zipp rims rather than Chinese ebay jobs...
