twin thread velomax SPOKEs

I have a pair of twin threaded spokes velomax factory built wheels and one of the rear spokes snapped.
These spokes seem very hard to find and I have only found a seller on ebay in the UK that sells the spokes for like $5 each and $12 shipping. Would like to find a US seller and someone that may have some that they would be willing to sell. Any advice is appreciated. TIA, Joe

If both ends have standard threading, anyone with a spoke cutter /threader should be able to make you one.

I also read that in looking for these spokes.
I dont have a spoke cutter /threader but may consider buying one if I cant get the OEM spokes.

He’s not suggesting that you buy a spoke threader, they cost hundreds of dollars. He’s saying that many shops have a spoke threader.

They also have a phone number. Call around. Unless you live in a pretty isolated area, one of the shops should be able to help.

Another vote for getting a shop to thread them for you. Also contact Easton who may have something to offer.
