Spokes needed for WTB laserdisc trail 27mm

This wheelset is WTB’s answer to All Mountain abuse. It features the 27mm wide LaserDisc Trail rim, laced with 32 WTB double-butted spokes to LaserDisc Lite hubs that roll on stainless steel bearings.

I neeed 2 black spokes for this 26" rear wheel
(WTB laserdisc trail 27mm 21/559/540 ERD) and anyone no where I can source some
and what size spoke I need?

I have sorted it out as the bike shop says the spokes are fine and I just need new nipples (how can he tell I was wearing a coat)

It's best practice not to reuse spokes as they are damaged as part of the tensioning process, reusing them makes them weaker. That said many shops do it but when one did it to me the wheel fell apart a few miles later.

Try it with the existing spokes, they might be OK.
