not having much luck tracking down 2007 mavic crossride disc spokes, 271mm black flat variety if anyone has found any ? or if anything else can replace it…..

I had a very similar problem – in the end I had to settle for silver spokes from George Halls Cycle Centre

yeah ‘spoke’ to them earlier and going to try a couple of Cosmic Carbone Pro spokes which are 271mm long and hopefully fit the hub end

https://www.bike-components.de and
http://www.bike24.com

used to do them

or find someone with a mavic crossride with a rear hub that’s stuffed (there must be many), and make an offer?

I have some old ones from 2003 in my tool box (nearly threw them out last week) but I’m out of the country til June. Email me then if you’re still stuck.

Checked eBay ?

I believe they are pillars – cheaper variety but this may well suffice – http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/WSPASP/pillar-aero-spoke – the 272 should be fine… if they are straight pull (which the site forgets to mention).

A sapim CXray, Wheelsmith SP bladed or any other bladed spoke will do. Try someone like Strada or DCR if you struggle.

I might have some used ones, if you intrested, I double check length on Monday.
