Depending on where you live, there may be a local bike shop that has a spoke machine and can cut them to length.

That's a god idea, I might try that.
And the ones from ebikes.ca are Sapim spokes and they do come in silver.
The other option is 13ga/14ga single butted spokes. These are 13ga at the hub and 14ga at the nipple. I have several of these in my rear wheel right now intermingled with the original 13ga straight spokes. To date, I have not had one of the butted spokes break (touch wood!)

Looking for spokes from a seller is at best way overpriced or just not possible. Online (ebay) there
are a wide variety of spokes to be found; there are even some who make up custom orders. When
you search, be as specific as possible to gauge & length. Measure twice, depending on your rims
length can vary even for the same size tire, so can price. I´m guessing the real issue is with the rear
wheel. Smart Samś are just too mushy for big riders. They are okay in front, but not on the motor
wheel. Leon, on their site, has admitted to the problem & ´sez´ they´re trying to fix it. In the meantime
I put on Schwalbe marathons, green guard, 70 PSI,( 29¨ x 2¨) with much tougher sidewalls, this after several
mtn, tires too soft to cut it, Marathon plus are too rigid at the tread & will distort sidewalls for a heavy rider.
Green guard are not really mtn tires, but just fine if your are not into shredding. The Moscow is a great uphill
bike, downhill,,,not so much.

Thanks for the information. Yes, the Moscow is a great bike, it's a sturdy beast.

I have that same hat, but mine´s kinda gross with gunky brown sweat stains. One nice thing
about the moscow, if I bust it, I can still afford another one.

I have experienced this annoying repetitive spokes breaking on the rear wheel. I documented my experience and my solutions in case it is of some use to others. You can find it at:

Hope this is of some use.
