Hi Lenny,
I asked for stainless steel spokes and nipples for an Ambassador. They
apparently have the dimensions on file for the drum-brake bikes, not
sure about the disc-braked ones. I could never get an answer to an email
either - you pretty much have to call them. Buchanan's spokes are
incompatible with the o.e. Guzzi ones due to the threads I was told
(rolled vs. cut?). The set of 80 stainless steel spokes and nipples,
unpolished (they polish up easily by hand or on a buffing wheel) cost
$96 including shipping in 2002. Cheers,
Charlie

Charlie, What did you ask for when you ordered from Buchanan's? I emailed them about spokes and nipples for my Ambo and I have had no response. Did you reuse any old spokes or replaced all of yours. Did you get polished stainless or regular stainless spokes with what style nipples. Also what did the sset per wheel cost. |
