spinergy wheelset identification
Need a new spoke and need to identify this wheelset.
There are no identifying markings on the wheels except for a number 405781 that has been hand engraved on the front wheel.
The rear wheel has a sticker with some numbers rubbed off but the last three numbers are 308.
Let me know what other information might be helpful.
Thanks

I like the ideas of the collars to keep the spokes from wearing the hub.
Sorry, I'm no help.

this looks like an older variant of the xaero lite wheels, same type of spoke layout, slightly different rear hub layout, but very close to mine...
spokes are fiber not metal, considerably thicker shaft, and will not sound like a metal spoke when you ping them.
not at home at the moment, but fairly certain these are fiber-spoke wheels
very comfy wheels on long, crappy roads - not a sprinter's wheelset...
a nice wheel for anyone who have issues with too jarring of a ride - combined with 25s or 28s and lower pressures makes for a silky ride, and still plenty fast.
Big, burly riders prolly not the best match - opposite...

Thanks for your replies. I was able to get a definitive answer from Sunny Chao just after I posted this.
She said they're Xaero Lite wheels for sure. The spokes are PBO fiber.

Also, Joe DuPee at Spinergy was a great help. I had been googling around for a week and just found their contact info.
