Where to get some spokes for Pulstar hubs???

[BikeSATORI]

Can anyone here help me out? I'm looking for some spokes for a rear Pulstar hub. 8spd.

Want to lace it up to a Sun CR16 rim (also, sorry for the lack of knowledge on my part, but Rim ERD is unknown as well... ??).

Any tips, info, or help here is much appreciated!
Thanks.

Does no one know how to search for straight pull spokes? Marwi USA

rhetorical question?

Do pulstar hubs use standard straight pull spokes, or were they proprietary?

mmmm, ti-dye straightpulls with a purple pulstar and purple Sun CR16. Yo Eddy can't wait for 3DV goodness.

When I bought mine (still using the front, and it is purple), you could get Union or DT straight pull spokes. I built mine up with DT's, and to this day they're still straight as an arrow.

Uh, I was purposely being vague Standard straight pull spokes will do the trick nicely. 548 should be the ERD for the rim.

Much obliged for the tips.

I tried QBP for some spokes today, as I saw they still carried Marwi ti spokes for BMX... But.... unfortunately they do not carry ANY straight pull spokes of any kind. No Marwi's in 26" lengths either. Somewhat surprising, but at the same time, not really.

hmmmm... not sure what to do. I don't think Marwi sells direct, but I may try.

ssmike, thanks much for the ERD.

Hey BS, I've got an unopened pack of 270mm Wheelsmith 14 ga straight pulls. Probably work for a front wheel with the right rim. If you can use them lets deal

Probably work for a front wheel with the right rim.:

And if you need another length, I have a Phil spoke cutter, which would be happy to help....

[benwitt11]

I have 27 DT 275mm 2.8-1.8's that are all you if you want them.

[BikeSATORI]

wow, generosity abounds!

azjeff, unfortunately I need around a 277 for non-drive, and about a 275 for drive-side... according to a chart I saw anyway, for a rim with approx. 548erd and 36hole...

benwitt11, I may take you up on that offer! 27 sure helps, but, still leaves me 9 short.

Hey MendonCycleSmith, can you get your hands on some straight pull spokes? I've got access to a hozan spoke/cutter threader too... but no straight blanks.

Phil wood will sell you spokes in whatever length you need. Straight and butted.
