Default Spoke replacement?

OK, I went to a store in Columbia SC, called cycle gears? I asked the guy if they new of a place or did re lacing of the spokes. He had no clue as to what I was talking about.
So what do you call it when you replace the spokes?
Now if it is re lacing, would you let guys like this replace your tire?

Store could be nice if helmets were sized properly.

Cycle Gear. They're good for gear and apparel, but cater mostly to sport bike and metric riders. Not a lot of spokes there.

Regardless, yes, it's re-lacing. Any Harley dealer should be well equipped to handle it, but I'd use Buchanan Spoke. OK, well, actually I'd do it myself with Buchanan's parts, but they do the work as well...and that's ALL they do.

There is so much humor in that post, I don't know where to start...so I won't


Why are you re-lacing?... Nasty looking spokes? (judging from previous posts)

What happened to swapping to "Mags"?

Sounds like it's time for REW13 to learn a new trade or skill set, which ever you want to call it. I grew up truing wheels on my BMX bikes, finally took the time to do it with some MC wheels, very much the same just need a little more patience, but well worth the investment. Buy a nice truing stand, Pit Posse has one for about $80 on eBay, a cheap dial indicator and a cheap spoke wheel and have at it, after a few tries you'll get the just of it and start learning how to dial it in. As for getting spokes if you need them, Buchanan's is the go to place.
