Most of the ones I have are for H1 and S1. I do have 5 of the 41028-054. And they are the correct style you are looking for.

You check with buchanon? I personally haven't used them but saw they were recommended by others.

I know they are the best and the most $$$. As cheap as I am, I may have to crack open the wallet and contact them. :lol:

I laced up an S3 hub using those type spokes you used and was going to change out the kh wheel I have on the front. I didn't like the way thy fit either. :thumbdown: Eventually I'll chase buchanon down for some correct ones when I get a better rim and get tired of looking at the kh wheel.

Probably not the best to skimp on parts that keep the wheels rolling in a circle. :thumbup:

I built the wheel with the 3.5 mm spokes. It built up just fine as the seller insisted but you and I know that it just isn't right. However, I will get the tires mounted and run it this way until I find the correct spokes (at the right price). I just received email from RD. Their supplier told them that the manufacturer for their spokes is out of business and it may be a long wait for S3 spokes from RD.

Here is a picture of my front wheel with EX500 caliper:
