how do I get the mavic r-sys carbon spokes?

[mark whittaker]

Hi I have a rear mavic r-sys wheel with a broken carbon spoke. I tried to get it repaired but they told me I had to purchase the spokes in packs of 10 for $125. anyone know if they are sold individually anywhere?

No idea but my neighbour bought some nice carbon wheels from the states but also bought a couple of pairs of crash damaged ones as well for spares! Have a look for any crash damaged ones kicking about be worth having spares? Other than that I think I would forget carbon spoked wheels and go more traditional!
