help me find mavic spokes

[davehirst]

They are the rear wheel drive side off a mavic krysium ssc sl.
I think they are 278 long or 215 between shoulders, silver in colour.
Wheel had maxtel s 6000 on it but not other identification (bar code 41001391).
I have broken one and found a replacement, but a few others look a bit dodgy.
I think they are early 2000 wheelset, do later models spokes fit.
seem rare as hens teeth.
thanks

try groupe sportif, they may have some lying about

I have a card of various mavic spokes around somewhere, will have a dig. How many do you need?

Most of the garage is packed up in preparation to move house in the new year though so dont hold your breath just yet...

[davehirst]

After one snapped, I had a close look at the wheel, there are 7 with Nick's in them. It looks like the rear derailleur has been in there at some stage (I bought it second hand) so I am preparing for the worse. I would take 7 at least, if you have that many.
Whenever you can look would be great, I have another wheel on at the moment.

BikeBug have Kysrium spokes. Not sure if they're the exact ones you need though.

[davehirst]

No to bike bug and groups sporting

The o/s stores will not ship to Australia, on orders from mavic.
This is getting ridonkulous.

you don't need Mavic-branded spokes, surely? I've used these guys.

you just need to match:
- spoke length
- hub end config. (straight pull, J bend)
- spoke gauge (thickness)
- round or bladed spoke body
- colour

can you salvage the nipples? if not, you'll need to order replacement nipples. you can get them off the same site, don't type "purchase nipples" into Google. the standard (external) nipples are easy - internal ones are a bit trickier but available.

Not with the majority of the Ksyrium series; the spokes are specific to the wheels.

No. The nipples are integrated into the spoke assembly during manufacture.

I may have some suitable spokes at work; I'll have a dig through the Mavic file & see what I can find.

Moruya Bicycles have some Mavic spokes.

[davehirst]

yup check moruya, they dont have.
Thanks Duck, would be appreciated

[Duck!]

OK, so Mavic measure their spokes weirdly; rather than stating overall length or between load-bearing points at the base of each head, they measure from the fattest point on each head....

So, I've got 275mm (which measure about 280mm overall), but only in black, or 281.5, which measure 285mm overall, in both black and silver, but only have two of each.

[davehirst]

Thanks duck, mine are the 275, as measured between fat part of the ends. I shall look for a few more days for silver, and if no luck I will take the 2 black, or do you have more of this size.
What is the cost posted to Syd, and can I bank xfer.

I found my card of spokes today, chucked it in the car & will have a look tonight. I will cap out at 3 most likely (there seems to be only 3 of each type).

Gidday mate,
I’m new to this forum stuff but it sounds like you may have the replacement spokes o require. Mavic Elite silver blade 284mm.
Are you able to help me with some of them?
Cheers, Pogo

[davehirst]

I bought these, then sold them on
,As they were not needed.
In the end I trolled all lbs I could find until I had enough to rebuild the wheel.
, I know there are a few local.where are you.
Some shops were $8.00 each, some were 15.
Don't want to buy proprietary spokes ever again.

Hi Pogo, you might have some luck with Moruya Bicycles (I've bought Mavic spares from them previously) :

Sorry, been AWOL of recent. I dont have any of them anymore, moved on the bulk of my spares a while ago to free up some garage space.
