Hi all - own wheelsets of 1st generation Mavic Ksyrium and Shimano DA 7800. Never touched the Mavics, still true after 1000s of miles. The 7800s have been trued a few times. Guessing would not be able to locate replacement spokes for the Mavics, how about the 7800s? Old Potato what say you? Thanks, Chris USNR

I’ve seen the Mavic spokes on EBay, used and not cheap

Biggest issue is identifying the correct spoke, both type and length..neither company does a great job of supporting older wheels. Toughest would be mavic since they changed the lengths by small increments on these often. I think the 7800 are just straight pull spokes with a proprietary washer and nipple.
274mm and 300mm rear and 280mm front.
