Broke a spoke yest and was wondering does anyone have one spare.
It seems to be about 28cm long.
Not sure when I will get to a bike shop.

Whats the make and model of wheel and is it front or rear ( if rear is it drive or non drive side). I've a few different one's sitting about but without info it would be impossible to know if they would fit.

The set up is Chosen hub with a pro lite como rim.

Forgive me but spokes are outside my realm of understanding.
They are black. Flat in the middle but not at either ends. and about 28cm long.
Do I need to measure the widht as well?

"About 28 cms long." You will need to be more precise than that.

How more precise. As the spoke broke at the hub my spin and had to bend the spoke around another spoke so getting a decent measurement wont be easy.

There is external nipples and the rim is 30mm deep.

I don't have one that fits but it looks like its 281mm spoke length but that could be with a different hub. I would say to take it to your lbs .

Thanks clog. I may have to go to lbs whenever that will be.

You can measure from another spoke. In my case, the front spokes are 286, and the rear are 284 and 292, so you probably want to get down to the mm.

OK thanks.
