Oh the aero straight pull??

Hmm..Sapim and DT make spoke similar to the one you are looking for in J-bend.

Wont be exactly the same but if you need just a few nobody will notice the new spoke is not as wide as the original ones, unless your friends are forumites :P

Probably Sapim CX-Ray or CX-Sprint pretty close. Do you need a few or a wheel's worth? Length? I have some plus a spoke cutter/threader...

I managed to pop the chain over the cassette yesterday. Once on a while I wrench like a real amateur.

So I need to replace 6 290-1mm spokes. I nailed all the leading spokes. Of course they are white, but not as concerned with matching as having a wheel SPokes are not going to break.

These are 1x3.2mm, so I'd wanna stick with something not less that 3mm along the blade width.

Found these CN spokes on eBay.

CN Mac aero 494 J-Hook J-Bend Bladed Aero spokes with Alloy Nipples, eBay item number:163704142240

Are CN spoke decent quality? Never used than as of this ppint in time. They do have white too.

So these are true 'bladed' spokes..with a slotted hub(I'm guessing)?
All current DT and Sapim 'aero' spokes are only about 2.3mm..really oval, not bladed, so you don't have to slot the hub.

BUT-DT 'New Aero'..here..

Yes, slotted. I saw those, and trust a known in DT, but are the CN decent and not junk I wonder?

I've used the MacCN aero-spokes, both the 3.0x1.0 big blades (type-494) and the 2.4x0.9mm "aerolites" (type-424). They worked fine. There are some old forum posts (elsewhere) saying the "bend" isn't always a perfect 90-degrees from the "blade", so I bought a few extra in case of any duds. They were all perfect from my eyeballing.

I used the eBay seller "good886" based in Taiwan and everything went fine.

Have/has your use/wheels be in service for ant durations worth mentioning form a longevity standpoint?

Thanks for chiming in, all...

Thousands of trouble free miles on the 494s. 424s are on race wheels with fewer miles but no problems.

Got the 6 DT New Aero from ColoCyclist for $17.00 shipped and wheel is solvent again.

Got off easy that time... hate to imagine what the LBS would charge to do it up. $8.00 or more per spoke and what ever they might get away with for labor. My Park truing stand paid for itself years ago...

Thanks for the input folks.

I think this was meant to read $41.70?

$417.00 seems a bit pricey for 6 spokes and shipping.

[robt57]

417.00 LOL. Just saw that, fixed. missed the shift key there. 17 space bucks. Really got off easy...
