[#6982275]

Hi, I've got a set of 2010 DT Swiss EX 1750 wheels and have broken a spoke in the rear wheel. Do I need to search out the exact same bladed spoke to replace it with, or will any J bend spoke of the same length work?

Thanks!

Any j-bend spoke will be just fine!

I might have a spare spoke for one of those, if you like? Not totally sure but I could have a look.

That's a very kind offer but I live in Switzerland so probably not worth the postage. If any spoke will do it I can just pick one up locally.

To update this I also emailed the same question to DT Swiss at the same time I made this thread and today I received in the post 3 spokes from them, free of charge. You can't beat that for service.
