Trial and error is such an important process in developing a prototype. When my friend Herb suggested using bike spokes, I was hesitant and thought that the spokes would not be rigid enough. After talking with my friend Hazel about the suggestion, she told me she had just rebuilt a wheel and had a bunch of spokes sitting around. I took them and soon learned how awesome spokes would be. I still needed some more spokes, so I dumpstered an old bike wheel, hooray, I was set.

I could have unscrewed each spoke and taken it apart nice and easily however, I just cut the spokes with wire cutters as it was quicker.

Most bike shops have extra spokes sitting around, it's also pretty easy to find an old bike wheel. If you really must, you can actually spend money and get your spokes new.
