Mavic wheel help

[ishaw]

So, this evening I thought I'd have a go at getting out the rattly part. Success, it literally fell out of the valve hole after a minute so that's a bonus. Pic below of the remnants.

Now on to the next 2 challenges.

Challenge 1 - spoke.
The wheel came with a full complement of spikes so seemed ok in they respect aside from one not being screwed in much. I removed it while trying to get the rattly nipple out. When I came to put it back in, it became obvious as to why it wasn't screwed in very far, I think it's too short. If I lay it up against another fitted spoke with the nipple fully down, it sits way higher than the fitted spokes.

So where may I find a non drive side zicral spoke in black for a 700c Ksyrium wheel?

Challenge 2 - freehub
Nothing wrong with the one on there aside it being campaign and I need Shimano. Where can I get one? Are other Mavic free hubs compatible?

I'm having trouble identifying the wheel model as the decals, while nice and shiny silver, don't have a model/version, just some logos for tech such as maxtal, SSC, zicral etc.

What length is the spoke?
We've got a few dozen various in a bag.

All mavic wheels have a serial number.
Easiest source of a freehub is a broken wheel, but tbh the pawls are reliable and the bearings are replaceable.
There are quite a few different mavic fhbs - again there's a drawer full at the shop, but I don't think one of yours.

The usual demise of a rimbrake mavic wheel is wear to the rim, which cost almost as much a the whole wheel, so hub and spoke spares are around.

Thanks, I'll take a spoke out and measure.

Rims on these are fine braking surface wise.

If I can find a serial number I'll let you know, if you have a freehub, great, if not I've got eBay looking for hubs

Here's some of our mavic spoke selection..

Thanks, how about your freehub collection, is there the one I need lurking in there

You tell me

I wish I could. Will look into how to remove the one I've got and see if I can take it off. Been a while since ce I've had to remove a Mavic freehub.

If I were to be so lucky, the hub with the ssv sticker in a pic may be right?

Usually the the axle screws apart (insert an Allen key in each end) and freehub body pulls off the hub

Found time to take the freehub off this evening. Easy job once you know how. Pull off the non drive side end cap, large Allen key through the axle. Smaller Allen key through the drive side end cap and unwind it. Freehub pops off easily, as do the pawls and springs. Luckily they didn't fall far.

The freehub has 2 pawl engagement and ratchet is The inside of the freehub, the pawls on the hub stub left with the freehub removed

Hopefully the pics help identify it, and I can find a Shimano replacement for the campaign one I have.

The spike length I need I greater they 305mm end to end.ive shown a pic of how the spike I have, which is too short by not a lot. The rounded silver end that sits below the rim eyelet/threaded hole barely clears the top of the rim which is why the thread barely engages.

I've only seen spokes online advertised as 307mm which is only 2mm more than the one I have. Is 2mm all the difference needed? Am I measuring the spike correctly?

Hopefully I can find the right length spoke. I've avoided taking one of the fitted ones out but can as a last resort.
