Leaving in 2 weeks for the Baja and C and S America.....new 2014 YST and we are 2up with gear. I dont feel comfortable traveing without a set of spare spokes in all 3 sizes. Can anyone sell me 2 of each size. Paypal or will pick up in Seattle area.
Think it is better to be safe than sorry. Only other spares are brake pads, bearings and clutch lever.

I sent you a PM with spoke ordering info.

Put some zip ties on your rear spokes and its highly unlikely you will need spares. Never heard of spoke coming off the front.. its way overbuilt and underloaded. Lost a few off the rear when I hit a pothole heavy and fast. No problems since zip ties in place. Get some spares by all means but better not to need them.
