need a spoke for Shimano wheel

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

I have a Felt F70 racing cycle ( which is great BTW) with shimano 12
(?) spoke wheels. I need to replace a spoke in my front wheel.
I have an old 700c wheel to nick spokes from, but the shimano wheels
wont take these normal 700c spokes.
So what are my chances of getting a single spoke from a bike shop ? I
would rather get them mail order than spend a day trecking around
town !
