I walked in to the store and asked to buy a set of spokes. Unfortunately they did not have stock, but could custom make a set to suit my bike, although it would take a day to make. As I really only needed three, I asked if they could make a few whilst I waited. The friendly gentleman obliged, and also graciously offered refreshments. 15 mins later 5 spokes were handed over to me along with the words "No Charge"! How refreshing it is to be treated in such a way. Thankyou all for helping me out. Needless to say I gave them a drink for their help.
