How about contacting your local bike shop?! They should be able to get
you the spokes. Be prepared to pay as Mavic spokes are proprietary and
not cheap. Good Luck!

Wouldn't it be nice to use a wheel that had industrially standard
spokes, which are cheap and widely available?

You could even have them handmade locally, a quality which is
fashionable in my city-state (and perhaps also in your own).

Highly proprietary and they are sold in sets.

Start with the guy who sold you that 'wheel system'.
If not your local Mavic dealer.
You need to know the year, model, submodel and in some cases
the actual serial number.

This is a sign of isolation in the bicycle shop world, with no
bulletins.
Don't think of Mavic as a wheel colossus. Think of them as producers
of cottage-made parts, if not a cottage industry. Part unique to the
product. Will anyone be collecting them in 40 years?

The OP is the owner of Hokie Spokes, a bricks and mortar bicycle shop
in or near Virgina Tech U, (known for engineering and as Hokies). Nice
shop; respected owner.

Maybe disposal fees for bicycle wheels will raise the price of
disposable ones.

Sorry, we haven't met. No offense intended.

A call to Mavic on Monday should start the process. There
aren't shortcuts.
