Have the above set of wheels on my enduro. According to spesh website, the spokes are DT Swiss competition straight pull 1.8 / 1.6mm stainless, black.
Firstly struggling to find the spokes.
Second, I was hoping that the hub end of the spoke would just push out of the hub, but it wont go past the other spokes. Is there a trick to getting them out one by one, please don't tell me I have to remove more...

    You just have to loosen off the obstructing spoke slightly and push it over slightly to the side and it should clear. Specialized dealers can order you the spokes but I found it took forever- about 6 weeks.

    Mine are ELs so not the same spokes, but I got them from Freeborn, they had them in stock. Worth giving them a call.
