  Where did you get the M509 kit from?

  There's a far less visually pleasing version on eBay:

  Just checked - grips are gone as they were sold with the bars.
  For reference, they were Charge Plunger grips.

  There is @Fantaseas coming today to see them

  If I remember well... the official name is a "downtube shifter clamp" - have a look on Google images for examples!

  The diamond shape raised area you are referring to is usually below the DT.
  The shifter clamp effectively clamps over it (where the bolt is at the back) so that prevents it from sliding down or turning around the DT.

  If that raised bit is at the front (which I have seen before), then here are some photos for you showing it still works!

  It can be done.

  The great @gbj_tester has the tool for it.

  I'd sort it out if it was normal DB stainless steel spokes as I have loads and I enjoy wheelbuilding.

  But aero spokes are an acquired skill!

  I have had an American Classic wheel that i popped a spoke about a decade ago. Is there any place i can take to have a aero spoke replaced?

  You will be better off in the Wheelbuilding thread.

  @broken_777 & @arup will be able to help as they are professionals

  Then I think @Turkish does it on the side.
