Mavic SLR carbon irrepairable?

[Jbrose]

So i bought a set of SLR's from a guy on bikehub only to find out after a few rides the spoke broke on the rear wheel. (on inspection by the bike shop it seems there was already an attempt to glue the spoke which only lasted long enough for me to be caught in the scam) Sent it to mavic through my local bike shop only to be told that they no longer make the through carbon spokes and the wheels cant be repaired.

Anyone else had this experience or any suggestions?

Thanks

Post a photo of the damage and post the sellers details.

As Gummi said post a pic of the wheel as well as the details of the seller.

Doing a zama zama repair just to sell an item is not cool.

If you decide to attempt a repair, you can maybe send a pic or two to Graeme Kidson aka Carbon Ninja . If he cant repair it, then IMO it cant be repaired.

Good luck

What's that spoke rim interface for interest sake?

Had a look, see it's the same as the R Sys system.

Try source a spoke on ebay maybe?
