mmmm usually around 7 pounds for a single spoke, less (per spoke) for two. You can do it yourself (tis cheaper and dead easy esp if its nt on the drive side of the rear - you'd need the tools to remove the casette) but even then its not diifficult nor is retruing the wheel. However I have found that spokes just keep on going - especially if they're not stainless steel spokes - so maybe best to get the whole lot replaced. Shall I assume its a rear wheel, drive side??

no idea as to the quality of the wheel but it may well be worth having it rebuilt with new spokes - to keep as a spare perhaps?
Having had a quick look, if it were me I'd get them respoked. Should cost around £25 - 30, mind you that assumes rims and hubs are fine.......

I think they are straight-pull, bladed spokes so may be a bit more expensive to get them rebuilt than it would for a 'standard' wheel.

probably, cost is normally around £20 plus the cost of spokes, ask the lbs for cost of the spokes in question....

Got hold of the guy and he is sending me the spokes for free and he is pretty sure the others will not snap just said i was unlucky ,but just bought new ultegra wheels now so i think i will use the new wheels and keep the others for spare ,and i got a pair of xr18 brand new in loft
