Seem to remember Roo Richard was the guy that sorted it!

Sesman:
Certainly sorted my S/S spokes and rims. Everything fitted straight out of the box which was a blessing as it’s the first set of wheels I’ve built myself. Got a local guys to true them though. I learned a good tip from him, which was to true the wheel to the inner tyre rim seat and not the outer rim.

Lobo:
Years ago I bought a full set of SS spokes for the ‘750 (or 400F?) from CWS, and noted the nipples were oversized for the spokes. They tightened to a point, but would not accept any significant torque - I complained wrt the safety implications that conceivably a wheel could be rebuilt which would then fail @ the first shock. Recall a vaguely condescending reply, but to be fair the nipples were replaced @ no cost to myself.

mickwinf:
thanks for replies, they are happy to replace them but they are unsure what to send, they say the ones that would fit are not big enough for a 500.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I guess it's always a risk if they do not supply your rims as well.

I was surprised to find out that they often  drill  rims themselves to meet the hub requirements.
