Hi,
I had to replace two spokes from my Milano rear wheel while being on holidays in France. Amongst 4 shops, only one was able to tailor spokes for my bike, the others did not have the proper length. I was told also that threads made on spokes on demand are not as robust as manufactured ones.
I would like to buy spare spokes for next time. I was told the original ones are 2.3 mm thick, and 240 mm long. Could you confirm this, so that I can order them confidently ? Any other specifications that I should be aware of also ?

Thanks
 
In my experience, spoke length means the distance from the rim where the nipple comes out, to the near edge of the hole in the hub. It was tricky to get a tape into position to measure a 125mm spoke on my rear wheel. A 240mm spoke should be easier to measure.
 
I would ask NCM for this information or measure myself as I did when I broke a spoke (🙃 poet and I didn't know it 🙃)
