I still have my Hozan spoke threader, onto which I’ve installed a 13 ga threading die. I long ago bought a used Wheel Fanatyk Morizumi spoke cutter/threader to be able to buy blank DT Swiss spokes by the box of 500.
Hi Danielle 😊 good to see you again, and sound advice on what parts to have in stock.
