Great R20 you have there. Thank very much for your tip, but I cannot find a direct link that connects me to a page of spokes. Can you please help me?

Cheers

You'll probably have to email them for it. But my local factory has just about all the short lengths, and I have asked for about 5 different ones so far.

Interesting size you got there.... just or fun I checked my inventory and found that we do have quite a selection of different spokes from Sapim

Leader 214 thats a 14 g ( 2 mm) spoke
CXRay 212 in silver or in black 2.1 x 1.5 Aero spoke muchos expensive, but totally bling same as Lance used to win 5 of his Tours ...
Leader 213 in 11 g (2.9 mm thick !! )
Laser 213 in Black 14/17 ( 2mm x 1.5 mm )

nothing in straight 15 ga ( or 1.8 mm ) though

I would like to thank your help on the spoke search. I have decided for quality/price ratio and I am going for 2 mm spokes DT Swiss 100 unit pack + nipples 44 bucks. Unfortunately I could not find 1.8 mm.
