The original spokes for wheels with stainless cap were 7 gauge (Imp SWG).176 inches but 6 gauge.192 inches for the thread, which is a Cylce thread not of whitworth or UNF form (and not 3/16 UNF. or 10.32! )
I gather replacement spokes are of one gauge (and look thick).
Does anyone know if nipples with genuine original thread are avail and where?
And where a 6 Gauge cycle thread tap and/or die might be obtained?
In my experience the Seven spokes are very robust.
