I Am looking for five 26” S-7 spokes for a 5-speed Schwinn Deluxe Twinn

[JimmyTheDog]

I found an all original 1967 Deluxe Twinn on CL and I need a handful (3-5) of replacement spokes. They are 26” S-7 rims and I think the tandem spokes are higher gauge than normal spokes.
Thank you, any help is appreciated. JTD

No expert, but think they are .105 gauge.
Measure 10 5/8".
If you can confirm , I may have what you need.

Pull a spoke and measure it, definitely 12 gauge

Thanks Rusty, I’m gonna have to extract one and measure it. I can’t find the specs online. I’ll be in touch. It may be after Thanksgiving because I am traveling a bunch

I found another spoke which also had a head busted off and unscrewed it from the nipple to measure. It is a hair over 10 1/2" but not quite 10 5/8". Here are the pictures. It's thick and from what I've seen online .105 gauge sounds right. Please let me know which size you think it is and if you have any you could sell me. I'm thinking 5-6 spokes if you have them. I may find more that are damaged when I restore her. I'm new to the expanding rear brake too. That'll be interesting to explore. Thank you for all your help! JTD

I'm guessing 10 9/16 ,I have seen that size on many Schwinn bikes.
