Haven't used them but saw them to and was a little sceptical about how they would hold up. I recently spoke to someone at Titman racing who said to steer clear of those ones made in Malaysia, and Bulldog brand spokes. He said they had a customer whose wheel collapsed first time out on the track.
Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.

There is a guy in Broadford that does spoke kits. Unsure of his name or contact details, maybe Spanish Armada can help?

For that price plus postage the price is comparable to locally made items with the piece of mind that they won't break.
