I've used Possible store a few times for spokes and nipples on wheel builds.Wheels still hold up on my trail bike (super light carbon rims) and enduro carbon rims on the ebike which cop a hidding. Still holding up. Dt swiss competition spokes sapim brass nipples.

I just buy them from https://www.dirtworksb2b.com.au/. Not too much more expensive if any, and at least I know i'm getting a quality/genuine spoke.

Yeah, likewise. They really are well priced for pillar spokes at dirt works. Grab a baggie of brass nipples while you're there @birddog69 .
I've ordered a few more useful things.
I really rate these cables

Remarkably good for $14

Works a treat, the bonus spoke tool is a bugger because the numbers are stamped in a small font and I'm blind

These are NFG, cheesy AF but that's my fault for not reading that they're resin pad only

Got some more stuff on the way, will report back on the $5 multi tool.

Is that 8 per wheel set or per wheel or per side? Asking for a 125 kg friend who is new to mountain biking but has a shit ton of money.

Hey M8 what you haven't worked out that many/most emtb run 28h front 32h rear. i run DT swiss spokes because pretty much every bike shops have DT swiss spokes if I need a spare.

Cows go boing
Is this because most people won't ride them hard enough to need a 32H front, but they need to meet maximum weight capacity requirements on the rear?

Anyone had any luck trying AliX rotors and living to tell the tale? Need to go bigger rotors on my xc bike (XT 2 pistons).
I note the comment above about IIIPro so have struck them off the list.

Only proper Shimano rotors from alie. I haven't been game to try generic questionable ones, more from a cost for useless crap standpoint than worried about my death.
