Hey guys looking for some help and guidance..

I'm having a hard time locating spokes for this pair of S2 rims. I know the S2 shares some parts with H1/H2 as well as KZ/KH, but
Looking at the parts fiche.... It appears that there are SIX different spoke sizes? How do I determine which ones are the ones?
Unfortunately I cut off all the old rusted/pitted spokes, so I don't have the old ones to compare to.

Furthermore, once the size is determined, where can I get these?


Here are my wheels prior to rehab:









Here are the wheels today: (still some polishing to do)





Thank you in advance for your time and help!

Thx Dale.
I reordered your parts list, then sorted by model because I was still confused. Initially it looked like there were even more parts/pieces upon first glance...

Need 20 of each for an S2

41027-046 SPOKE ASM-RR INNER 104 X 147 MM
41028-044 SPOKE ASM-FR OUTER 86 X 146 MM
41028-045 SPOKE ASM-RR OUTER 85 X 146 MM
or

Looks like the rear is the same on both models. Something changed at the front.

Regardless, looks like a call into Buchanan spokes is in order! I see on their website that they have some stock kits for H1, H2, KZ. Each have different gauges and I don't know what that means!


My followup question(s):
How close is the s2 wheel to the H2? Did the H2 have front & rear drums?
