Spokes....
Moderator: robbosmans
Anyone have an online source for buying spokes - spokes as singles or a just a few? I broke a spoke on a rear (ND) Fulcrum Speed 40 DB and the Fulcrum site only says 'round, double butted, stainless' as the spokes in the wheel. I reach out to Fulcrum - Campy to get specs, I get an email back telling me to 'buy a replacement spoke kit from an authorizsed dealer.' I replied asking for spoke specs, particularly length of drive & ND on the rear wheel, and they replied that they don't know. Seems a lame not to know the specs....or they want me to purchase (via dealer) a complete spoke kit. These look like DT Comp spokes, can't be hard to match them up to an existing spoke.
Anyone have a website they can recco for spokes...as in a few; not a box?

Both ProWheelbuilder.com & Wheelbuilder.com offer indvidual spokes.

The official spoke kits only contain 4 spokes, so not like you'd have to buy a complete set. Still they sure are overpriced.
According to some quick googling these are the parts numbers and lengths:
RSDB-DS290 = front left/rear right = 290 mm
RSDB-DS291 = front right = 274 mm
RSDB-DS292 = rear left = 264 mm (edited, wrong number before)
Measure your existing spokes with a caliper to figure out which thicknesses to buy.
If they are made by DT, there will probably be a logo stamped on the flat side of the head.
If made by Sapim, the logo is stamped onto the spoke close to the head.

Quick conclusion; picked up my wheel and told the mech of the above lengths. He measured again and and said 'no way, wrong spec.' The spoke length of the rear nd side was 260 (give or take a few mm). A 294 would be crazy long. Possibly we are mis-matching wheels.These are my wheels.

Campy service said this part # is a four spoke kit: RSDB-DS292
Maybe a 264mm. Not sure. Anyway, off dirt, back to pavement.

Yeah, sorry. I got the lengths from this page and must've been tired and flipped the six upside down in my head. 264 mm is correct.
