Default Spoke sleeves????

I was wondering if any one knew if any place had spoke sleeves. I know they used to make them for car spokes and thought it would be alot easier than takeing my rims apart. They would just slipp over your spoke and were made of plastic. Just looking for any help if any one knows. Thanks!

never saw spoke sleeves. but one of my buddies used to run straws that he'd split down the center and put them over his spokes on his lowrider ( car) i'm pretty sure they were from starbucks, had a mint green color to them, matched his car nicely..

Spoke sleeves i.e. circa 1977? I remember putting those on my black huffy.

Want to go with black spokes and they would be a cheap alternative to taking wheels apart, its riding season now and no way I'm taking my Scoot out of commission.

Google black straws...found a bunch with a quick search.

Measure how long your spokes are first.
