wants £15.99 for a pack of ten
Sounds fair. You can buy them online in singles for £2-£5 each, depending on which of the many versions of the Ksyrium you have. They are mostly proprietary designs, so a generic straight pull DT or Sapim is unlikely to work, and won't be any cheaper anyway

If the snap is not related to external damage then you ha e a case of fatigue. When one goes other spokes will follow. Yes factory wheels can be expensive to own. Think of them as secondchand ferrari, they seem like a bargin then you get the garage bill.

Managed to snap a driveside flat, straight-pull spoke on the rear wheel of the Mavic Ksyrium
wheelset on my 'best' bike.
Localish bike shop, that is an official Mavic stockist has nothing in stock,
and wants £15.99 for a pack of ten.
If that's what it is going to cost, I would sooner that amount went to someone on the forum.
Anybody West-ish can help me?
