Exactly the kind of comment on spoke sizes that doesn't help.
There are too many variables with spoke sizes, Suzue hubs for example have 3 sizes of flange, high, low and mid flange so each one has a different size spoke. Every manufacturer makes their hubs differently, flange sizes are different, spoke hole to spoke hole is different etc etc etc.
What is the lacing pattern radial/3x/4x/racelace etc? Each one means a different size spoke.
Just learn how to measure and calculate them yourself and then you don't spend £25 on a set of spokes that are the wrong size.

Didn't mean to sound harsh, but I had 2 messages again this week from members that took others advice on spoke sizes, spent hard earned £££ on those spokes and found when lacing the wheels up the spokes are the wrong size.
It takes 5 minutes to measure the hubs and rims using the free guide on site, which will save mega ££ in the future.
Money is tight for us all these days and throwing lots at spokes that are potentially the wrong size just seems silly.
