Looking for a spoke or Substitute
Good morning all,
I recently acquired a set of Roval Fusee SL 25 wheels. Theyre missing a few spokes and nipples and i'm trying to replace them, but the only thing i can really find on the spokes is that theyre DT Swiss Aerospeed 1.8mm bladed.
Im relatively new at replacing spokes and such. I know theyre straight pull, but I dont know the spoke length or steel gauge or if there are specific nipples that go with them.
Any insight will help! Thanks!

You already have the gauge, 1.8mm (bladed). That and the specific model specs (or name) are all you need. Length for non-elbow spokes is measured from the inside of the head to the end, ie. not counting the head.
You might visit the DT site for more info, or list of dealers in SC, or search for on-line sellers of DT spokes.
