1. Source Sapim straight pull spokes from one of numerous shops. I’d go with butted spokes on the rebuild for several reason but you can stick with straight gauge to save money.
2. Assuming you are using a deeper rim, find a local shop with a spoke cutter and have them remove the appropriate excess length and add extra threads. More hassle but may be cheaper.
I still use a set of these wheels (on my retromod Trek 660) purchased in 2004 I think. Thanks to Mavic’s dumb luck their hubs accept 11 speed cassettes unlike most other older wheelsets making them a great low budget option for a modern build. And the hubs and rims are quite robust.
