Thank you!

I planned to order from CSC, but when I calculated the shipping from US, with the exchange rate not in my favor, the total cost exceeded the price for my new rear Mitas E07.

Have you changed the front wheel to 19 inch? One of my countrymen changed his to 21, but he doesn't have social media, and we live on different islands. Still tracking him.

Hi, I'm from Argentina and have also changed the rear rim from 15 to 17. The spokes you need are 150mm x 4mm.
As for the front, I already have the 19 rim but haven't had time to make the change. I measured the new spokes needed as 220mm (end to end) and they're 3.5mm. Be aware they the front spokes are "straight". When I do the front change I'll confirm spoke lengh...

Thank you Juanro!

Now I can start hunting for the spokes.

I will certainly wait until you confirm the front spokes' size.

Bless you!

RonB, you can buy them here https://world.taobao.com/item/415353...9086.70.IB6RIp for the rear wheel (size 15 inch). Still looking for the front wheel.

Hey guys.

After several months, I finally received my rear tyre.

I can confirm with 100% accuracy that we can use the stock 15inch spokes on new 17inch new rim. Thank you Juanro!

Now eagerly waiting for my 19" front E07.

I know I'm a little late joining this thread but I'm a new member. This is great information. I haven't purchased a RX3 yet but the first modification I would want to make is to change the rims. I hate black wheels on anything other than BBQ grills and lawnmowers (lol) so I'd want to change the rims to just plain aluminum.
