This is the second rear Mavic Ksyrium Elite to do this to me, though the 2010 version only had one crack, whereas the 2013 version had three. Suffice to say I shan't be buying any more.
Ironically, just before this wheel went, I'd bought a new rim for the front wheel, as the bearing and spokes of this 2010 wheel are still perfect (after about 20k miles). Unfortunately, the Mavic spoke spanners I have are too big, and when I went into the LBS, who have something to fit just about every spoke nipple going, they couldn't find a spoke spanner to fit the nipples either (as per photo).
Any ideas as to what would fit them?
