Allright, seems that the Mavic tech website is down, and I need a few answers. I've got a Ksyrium SL
with a broken spoke. How does the spoke attach to the rim? I know the "threaded insert" threads into
the rim, but how does the spoke "attach" to the insert? In other words, what am I going to find when
I unthread the insert? It can't be another head on that end of the spoke, so is there a little snap
ring or what? Secondly, is the round disc that comes with the wheels the spoke wrench? I'm not
around the wheels right now, but thinking about it I guess that would be about the right size and
has that shape of the threaded inserts. Anybody out there with more knowledge of this than me? Any
other advice about spoke replacement (front or rear) on these wheels would be appreciated! Oooh, one
more question, how many different length spokes are on Ksyrium SL's, 3,2,1?
