I can mail them to you as I'll never use them. Used.

He is great got what you need ... Plus a Phil Wood machine to boot. Got the nipples for my Sur Ron DOT rims from him plus cut spokes. Or try Treatland.tv of course.
DogDipstick said:"The thread is rolled/cold forged onto the spoke, which does not remove material as would occur if the thread were cut into the spoke." "Our machine is capable of cutting carbon steel, stainless steel, titanium, anodized, and powder coated spokes ( to length)." " If properly maintained, each surface can roll 60,000 spokes, for a total of 120,000 spokes on a single die set. When cutting and threading standard spokes, some die sets have reached upwards of 160,000 spokes. "

markz said:I wonder how many Hozan can roll?
I would have saved money on all the custom spokes I bought.
Plus I could even put an ad in the online classifieds promoting my custom spoke service.
https://www.amazon.com/HOZAN-Spoke-Threading-Machine-C700/dp/B000C3F5LY
I believe they are $150usd with one included attachment and each attachment is like $50.

DogDipstick said:I hear the Hozan is kinda painstaking... hence the popularity of the other tool, and the price.
Chalo said:One of those can roll more spokes than any normal human has the patience to do. My coworkers think I'm a freak because I'm willing to precisely cut to length and roll threads on an entire wheel worth of spokes at a time. Expect an hour per wheel when you've gotten the hang of it and you have a rhythm.

DogDipstick said:Yeah I have almost bought a HOZAN like three or four times by now, researched th Cyclo and everything, searched and searched. I really want to be able to do this.. Cut and roll my own spokes, but could never commit to a Phil Wood kinda machine. Lol thats outta my league.
thanks for the input.
.You will need to dish these washers into a shallow bowl shape, which is easily done with a cheap 3/8-inch hydraulic tubing flare tool. Standard 12ga bicycle nipples will require washers when used on any moped rims. Common 12ga nipples have a 4.6mm body, and a 5mm washer works well. An SAE #12 washer has a 6.4mm ID

Try one washer, if it works for your rim, you can buy more...
