J E James Cycles sell spokes singularly, but you are probably better off ringing them as the website is a rabbit hole, and the search on it sucks.

LBS? Mine sells normal DT comp’s for 50p, dunno about straight pull though.

I would try a wheel-building specialist like JRA or Paul Hewitt Cycles as your problem is likely to find anyone who stocks straight-pull spokes in that size – last time I needed some, I bought them from Bike24 in Germany as most shops will only sell you a box.

I have a set of these.

Joggling pliers are a useful tool to have around. You can cut a longer spoke down to size. The joggled bend works just as well as the J bend on your spokes. It also has the advantage of being easier to insert into the hub, eg no need to remove a cassette or disk if you’re in a hurry.

Precision Z-Bend Pliers.

You’ll usually find the lbs has orphan spokes from wheel builds, so it’s always best to check there first.

Otherwise my first stop is SJS Cycles.

They are great – not for straight pull, though 😉
