    I snapped a spoke on the front wheel at the Croi cycle last weekend, the wheels are Easton EA 90 SLX bought from Chain Reaction. I checked their website and found that these wheels are no longer continued but I found their replacements EA 90 SL. I checked in the spoke section and saw DT spokes but I dont know if these are suitable or even what is the correct one to order. According to the specificaiton on the wheels, the spokes are sapim bb 2.0/1.7/2.0. A friend of mine will change the spoke for me but firstly I have to buy a repalcement.
    Your help would be appreciated ...

    A DT spoke should be fine, as long as it matches the existing spoke in length and ideally (mainly for comparable strength) dimensions along the length (preferable to have it match in weight too, but as any weight difference should only be negligible it's nothing to worry about). It may also have to fit the existing nipple if that nipple is not a standard size or not easy to remove. Probably best to get a Sapim spoke if you can, but otherwise any comparable spoke from another manufacturer should do.
