ChaseTheAce Posted October 6, 2023 Share Hi Folks, Where in SA does one get replacement spokes for Mavic Wheels? Specifically, the bladed Zicral/Aluminum ones, see this link here for the specifics https://www.mavicparts.com/collections/mavic-road-spokes/products/new-mavic-spoke, this link is however US based and out of stock of the one I have. I am hoping that someone in SA can steer me in the right direction before I start looking on ebay and/or similar platforms. Below is a screengrab of the sort of spoke I am looking for, for those who haven't clicked on the link. Thanks (holding thumbs 😅) - Mr Bendy-Spoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Dassie Posted October 6, 2023 Share Can try the agents, Dragon Sports. https://www.dragons.co.za/mavic/ Alternatively, if you’re in Gauteng you can ask your LBS to ask the local rep, Deon. He’s often pretty good with things like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsride Posted October 6, 2023 Share Let me know what length you are looking for. Dragons is no longer doing Mavic from what i undestand but the should still have spares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Cape Town based, as we all know the urgency here is not quite up to the pace up on the highveld. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted October 6, 2023 Share Your LBS should be able to order, Dragons have in red and blue. No black ones though. Danger Dassie and ChaseTheAce 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently had a service and asked them to true the wheel. Let's just say they were not proactive in looking for a spoke or potentially assisting. Guess I'll try another local bike shop.

nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted October 23, 2023 Share Your wheels have a barcode sticker on the rim. Input that code into the Mavic service website and it will tell you which spares part number you require. https://technicalmanual.mavic.com/tech-mavic/technical_manual/data/mavic_tech.php?&fil=2&co=UK Then we check with Dragons, the Mavic agents, if they have stock on hand. Get someone who knows what they're doing to install the new spoke. Special nipple wrench needed, obviously. ChaseTheAce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_the_wheelbuilder Posted October 23, 2023 Share I followed your link in the first post, and if it's the drive side rear spoke you need, Dragons has in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below are the screenshot for anybody else who may need this in the future.
