COVID-19 has severely impacted supply. This has affected the whole bike industry and SpokeService is no exception. Last year supply problems caused the shop to close twice for a total of about two months — that may happen again in 2021 but we’re not there yet.
More than half of products normally available in the online shop are out of stock so this blog is an attempt to point out what’s available now. It’s difficult to say when specific models may become available because upstream information is unreliable. Thankfully nipples and washers in all varieties are well-stocked. In terms of spokes the following are on hand:
Non-butted
Sapim Leader available in all lengths, silver and black.
Single-butted
Sapim Strong available in all lengths, black only.
Double-butted
Sapim Race available in lengths 268mm and longer, silver only.
Sapim Laser available in lengths 268mm and longer, black and silver.
Triple-butted
Sapim Force available in lengths 268mm and longer, black and silver.
