Help me identify these wheels please!

[thecbell]

I have a mavic cosmic wheelset. they are the older ones with the yellow decals on (as below). they also have this engraving on the wheel, maybe a serial number, and they have a sort of blue anodised tint to them. They have mavic hubs with shimano freehub. The rear one has snapped a spoke and my LBS needs to know what year they are so he can order the right spoke in, or even better, find somewhere that do the spokes. they are bladed spokes and its on the drive side. Any help really appreciated

I might need to re upload pics if you can see them, or provide a link to them because of file size.

thanks in advance

they are the 30mm cosmic pro by the way. and clinchers, if that makes any difference

Good luck on the spokes - Mavic generally don't do spares support after 5 years which is a real bind.

don't give up try all them wheel builder's on google ! last option 'bespoke' ha be spoke get it ! alright theres
some one out there could fabricate one. look at all those old cars coughing and spluttering at goodwood revival

I have a few NOS odd mavic spokes from back in my race mechanic days. I need to know the exact length of the spoke & is it straight pull? if necessary remove one of the unbroken spokes & accurately measure it. From memory Mavic only supplied a complete wheel side worth of spokes. IE all the drive side or all the non drive side.

Mavic don't keep spares for anything which is 5 years old and these are older than that.
You don't need original spokes, you just need straight pull spokes.
Unfortunately there are nit many bladed straight pul spokes available... basically only Sapim CX ray, which are very expensive. Now you just need to measure which sizes you need
