    Check with VL Heaven out of England. If anyone knows, our Assistant Chief Judge should. Just a suggestion.

      Sorry Bill, we can't get cadmium done legally in Europe these last few years. The judging rules now allow stainless spokes that have been glass beaded to pass with no penalty. As far as I know, all the US-made spokes are now also stainless, but this Board will let us know if new cad spokes are available anywhere.

          Why not have your spokes replated?

            Working on finding a local or close to local plater..how do you keep the threads from getting munged?

              I have never had any problem with Cad mungeding the threads. Whatever that means.
