SRAM S60 spokes.
I have a problem with my SRAM S60 rear wheel. It has over 25kkm mileage and I already lost 3 spokes from a drive side.
Has anyone tried to replace spokes with a different than from SRAM kits? I know that the spokes are manufactured by Sapim, but CX/CX-Ray have a bit different dimensions. The spoke from dedicated kit has 4mm width.

Generally if you have broken 2 or more spokes it is just a sign the wheel is going to continue failing. I would not waste my time and money replacing spokes on that wheel. You could try building up the hub in a new rim with new spokes or just buy a new wheel. After 25,000K it just isn't worth it to try and continue getting the wheel to work. It would not be fun to have a wheel failure screaming down a hill.

It's more of an indication that the rest of the spokes are going to go.
What's the issue with calling Sram and getting a full wheel's worth of replacement spokes for a rebuild? Or are you trying to just replace the 3 spokes. (I'd say you need to replace them all, and check the rim to make sure it's worth it)

[MENTION=367130]veganbikes[/MENTION] Thank you for your answer, however from my perspective that's not a solution. A new wheel that class is at least 10 times more than replacing all spokes even using SRAM kits.
[MENTION=189195]TrojanHorse[/MENTION] You are right. I'll contact SRAM about full replacement.
