Hi there,
A spoke on my real wheel snapped and I'm trying to find a replacement but am struggling to choose the correct one. Its actually in for repair/service at Halfords and they rang to say they can't identify the correct one - so I'm hoping someone is able to help!
The bike is a Basso Laguna carbon road bike with standard size 700c wheels. I'm not 100% sure of the year of this model but I bought it second hand in 2013 so it's at least 10 years old, so the wheels will be the same.
My wheels are Shimano Ultegra and it's the rear wheel that I need the spoke for - if you can see from the photo https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52709519797_ece7387472.jpg
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you want help, you should take the wheel off and get a proper shot of the wheel at the hub and at the rim.
A photo of the bike is most unhelpful...
I think these were the wheels with the nipples at the hub, tentatively the 6600 seriesleft the forum March 20230 -
Agree with the above .
Does the hub look like this pic ?

Those are Shimano WH-R 600.
There seem to be spokes available online, but only for the front wheel, I suspect you need the rear non drive side?left the forum March 20230 -
There is nothing special about the spokes themselves... they are straight pull 272 mm drive side and 300 mm non drive side.
What is proprietary, are the nipple at the hub and the washer at the rim.
It might well be that a normal nipple at the hub works or a more recent Shimano nipple with a 4 mm square section... and again, a washer can probably be replaced by a different kind of washer...
I think it's fixable with a high quality botch

I believe tge 550s are the same deal rhere are left rears on ebay fir £60 -
Part numbers etc therecwill be alternatives if proper ones can't be found
I would assume Halfirds could salvage the washer from the old one
