Where to get DT Swiss Alpine III spokes?
I found some on eBay but not finding the sizes I need. Is there a good place to get them in a variety of sizes? I mean by the box for a reasonable price, not these pirates selling them for $8 apiece.
Thanks
Thanks

Your local bike shop can order them from Quality Bicycle Products (QBP). Based on another post of yours, you need 296 and 295mm spokes. QBP currently appears to have both. If you can’t find 295mm, you can use 296mm on both sides. These guys have 296mm.

One shop tells me he can get them for $2/each my cost. Hmm. That's less than half what I find them for on eBay and elsewhere. I had been thinking of getting something else for the non-drive side but if he can actually get them at that price I might as well do both sides with the Alpine III's.
I've had good service here in the past even though it's UK.
£6.99=$9.42 at the moment.

You need to learn how to shop better, calculate spoke length and understand how to determine the number of crosses.

If the spoke sizes are wrong I'm cutting all of ya'll out of the will.
