Which size spokes do I need?

Trek Extra large frame 3700

Hubs are Shimano Deore FH-M510 VIA-M

The wheels are Mavic X 139, 559X19, S - 6000

I measured a couple of the broken spokes and they seem to be about 7 1/2 MM.

Take out a spoke from each side that HASN’T broken and measure them.

If neither of above work for you, sometimes the spoke vendor will figure it. Usually no guarantee of accuracy. Really classy user name, BTW.

What are you measuring at 7.5MM? That's like 1/4"
