Can anyone tell me what kind of spoke this is? There are so many option online and I can’t figure out which ones to buy. Need help please.

Something beginning with "P" ?

Or is it "d" ?

But that only tells you the make. You need to measure the thickness at both ends and in the middle. It could be 2mm all the way or 2mm at the ends and 1.8 or 1.6 in the middle.

Thanks for all the reply’s. Will see what I can find on bike-components or amazon.
God biking gear and components is so complicated. I used to skateboard that shit was easy in comparison.

Any straight pull spoke of (around) the same length will do.
you don't need the same brand, and if you can't get the same guage or butting you can still replace it with a plain guage 2.0 and the world won't implode

TBF they're pretty similar. some things turn, some things grip and some things tighten/loosen.

Good to know.
I just thought buying the same brand would reduce the amount of options ive been finding.

Yeah but a skateboard is four wheels two trucks and a deck. Can’t really fuck that up. One wheel on a bike has more parts than a whole skateboard.

@blackforrest
Are you buying parts for someone to build you a set of wheels or repair a damaged one?

Repairing a damaged one.
