Where to get older Mavic Ksyrium SSC SL Spokes?
Been breaking spokes on an older SSC SL wheel and want to replace all the spokes. Bike shop says they can't get the drive side anymore. Mavic part number is M40678. Anyone know where I can get 10 of these?

Oh yeah. Forgot to mention they need to be black.

wow! I could probably use a few of those. I was in the same boat..actually only broke one, but had seized nipples on a few others and ended up sourcing a few used ones to keep the wheel alive. Great wheels, but perhaps not intended to live as long as some of them do, if that makes any sense.

If you want used Ksyrium spokes I have some from a wheel I rebuilt, would have to check for the lengths

I also have a new silver tubular front rim if there is interest

I'll assess the condition of mine. I think I have one or two spares left. I had marginal luck soaking the nipples in WD40 (for days), but ultimately I think it's a chemistry problem (ie, reaction of aluminum on aluminum with air/salt/evil?) for which there's probably a simple solution that I am just not aware of. (like ammonia for an aluminum seatpost stuck in a steel frame)

Great! Include it. I'll keep looking for a new one and use the used one if I can't find one.

Bummed. Realized Salsa L's were 3mm too long. The hunt continues.

I emailed the name/number of a wrench to you who might have some left from a repair that he did for a friend a few years back.

He had some silver ones, but no black. Thanks for the tip. I'll keep looking.

My rear wheel (SSC SL) has one silver spoke.

I discovered, as have you, the issues of replacement. Looks ok though.
