DT Swiss PR1400 wheel spokes
Hi, thinking of getting the wheelset but want to know if a spoke breaks would I be able to replace it? Or would I have to send the wheel away?

That wheel seems to use the “DT aero comp® straightpull” and “DT aerolite® straightpull” spokes. Both of which are extremely common/popular. Shouldn’t be an issue to replace.
You can see the replacement procedure on page 10 of the dicut wheels technical manual.

It would be wise to have some extra spokes on hand whether you need then now or not. Say two or three spokes in the various sizes for your bike.

It helps in making my decision of buying or not. Not that I usually break spokes but I don't like having rims that I can't fix if something stupid happens like a broken spoke.

As smashndash mentioned in post #2 DT spokes are very common for this wheelset. But, as so many things are short run or proprietary these days I always recommend checking in on the mfrs. website every year or so to see if parts are still being made. I'd say you're being smart to think ahead if you plan on keeping these for a few years. You're pretty safe with these particular spokes though.
