First up, where is a good place to get spokes online? I am about to
build up a couple of rims for the fixie project. MA3 look like a good
deal on Wiggle with the £5 e-voucher.

www.edinburgh-bicycle.co.uk/catalogue/index.cfm for DT Comp @ 25p ea.

Parker International for ACI ss db @ 20p ea. Spokes not on website so
would need to order by email/phone.

Or www.roseversand.de

OK. I could try the LBS as well

Whilst I am at it, I want to build the shopper wheels into better
rims, ie non chrome. I'll shift the chrome ones to the new trailer
project. Any recommendations for a good place to get cheap alloy rims
for a 20" wheel (not sure what size jsut yet as I forgot to look - it
is a dawes kingpin.)

Only online supplier of them I know is St John Street.

Hmm..

And finally, having made a fixed hub by brazingsolid an old cassette

Blimey!

I had the hub anyway on an old wheel. The wheel was going to be junked so I
thought it would be worth a try. And it is definitely fixed now ;-)

I suppose I don't really need the bolt as the axle should hold it together..

I have gone and lost the fixing bolt (bah!).

Sonic screwdriver?

Nope. Not got one of those. Got a sonic hedgehog though.
