ok so ive trolled the internet to try find out what type of spokes a set of bontrager acc 5.0 wheels i acquired use but it just cant be found. i cant make out from the stamp on spokes what they are but look somewhere between a dt swiss and sapim stamp.
they are the same spokes found in this picture but an acc 5.0 wheel with internal nipples im thinking length approx 296mm. ive measured up pro lite spokes here which i though would do the trick but the j bend bends away from the bloaded section so its a no go.

im basically wondering for one: anybody may have needed replacement spokes for these wheels and how they went about it and if not, that they know of any wide bladed spokes, its approx 3.2mm so a normal bladed spoke wont do i imagine because i imagine as its a 16spome wheel that it wouldnt hold the tension as good as a wider one.
any advice on the issue appreciate.
im well aware this post prob not structured properly but im wayy too tired

Then maybe you should write your post when you are less tired.
You probably have straight pull bladed spokes with internal nipples... measuring the length you need is not easy, but you can probably download the manual of your wheels where this information is available... then you have to find a suitable internal nipple, which can be a bit of a battle as wellleft the forum March 20230 -

thats not my problem and youd be waiting quite some time to find me not tired. they arent straight pull, the blade and j bend end are parallel. 296mm. it was more in the hope somebody has a pair and have had to go through the proceedure,,0 -

You can always use a round spoke as a temporary replacement, while you source the original spareleft the forum March 20230
