Measuring Spokes

(1/2) > >>

Swivel:
Need some advice, just got some Z's and I want to replace the spokes. Do I measure the whole spoke to where it starts to bend or complete including the whole bend.

Any help wil be appreciated, ta  :daumenhoch:

That Swan Guy:
Straight line tip to bend is close enough :daumenhoch:

Gnarlyscoots:
As Nick said Matt, centre of bend to tip.

If they are small flange hubs, 3 cross, they should be 194mm. If you have high flange hubs, 3 cross, they should be 186mm  :daumenhoch:

NB**186mm stainless spokes are getting very difficult to track down at the moment**

Ignore that advice Matt and measure them yourself.  We have had enough advice regarding spoke lengths that turns out to be wrong, the easiest thing in the world is to do your own measurments and get it 100% correct.
