That set of attributes limits demand for burlier spokes to a few grouchy types and OEMs looking to cut spoke count even further. In other words, don't hold your breath waiting for good retail distribution of Sapim CX, DT New Aero etc.
Madison imports DT Aero speed in all sizes and Aero Comp, but the latter only in <268 or > 290 mm. For some bizarre reason the most interesting sizes (those that fit 24-35 mm rims) are not available in the UK. They do not distribute New Aero, although I have seen Sdeals.com have them in a few sizes, but they normally bypass Madison.
Bike24 in Germany seem to be well stocked in Aero Comp, with all the UK missing sizes available, but only in black.
Sapim are distributed by Chicken Cycles, they don't import the CX.
