The rim on my 2008 rear Ksyrium SL is worn out and in the vain hope of keeping it alive for another year I've ordered the last available Ksyrium Elite S rim from a French website; the rim dimensions being identical although the Elite S is the black/silver finish.
The parts pdfs show that both wheels have drive-side spokes 275mm long.
However the non-drive spokes differ by 1.5mm: Ksyrium SL has spokes 298.5mm and Ksyrium Elite has spokes 301mm.
Have I shot myself in the foot? Any idea why the tiny difference for identical rims and hubs? Are spokes still available? Will my existing shorter SL spokes work with the Elite S rim?
