Spoke-wheel Truss Rods In The Uk?

[biliousfrog]

I bought my last truss rod from a guy on ebay, I can't seem to find the same ones anywhere in the UK. I want a dual action rod with a body end, spoke adjustment...anyone know where I can get one? I've tried the usual suspects but I might have missed somewhere.

Setch or Simo asked the same question a few months back and i'm pretty sure he drew a blank as well, i can't ever remember seeing any from the usual and unusual suspects. Dunno, dare say whichever one it was will chime in but i think he ended up getting in a SMac delivery.

I was afraid of that, it works out quite a lot when Stew Mac charges about a fiver more for the rods then delivery & then import duties. Maybe I should just go for a headstock adjustment instead. Hopefully someone else will come up trumps.

i hope someone does cos although i buy the carbon rods when i get the truss rod from stewmac, it does still seem like a waste when the deivery and then customs charges come into it.

If there's enough demand I might buy several & sell them on to anyone here at minimum cost...or someone else can if they like. It seems strange that the people on here that use them most are from the UK yet they're not available here.

BTW, this place sells CF rods: http://www.carbonology.com/shop.asp?PC_ID=...amp;sec_id=2116 , they also have these in the offcuts section.

I must admit the last SM order i made i got half a dozen (allen key hotrods not the spoke type else i'd let you have one at cost) because of the postage etc charges. I've already used three so it makes me wish i'd got even more !
