gareth1978:
bought some rims, hubs and spokes

the rims are ukai 20 x 175 and the hubs are suzue

just wondered if i have the correct size spokes and if they are different sizes on the back from the front
as ive tried to build them and the spokes became to short and i was unable to lacse the rear wheel
the spokes are14 x184 mm

any help would be appreciated

HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) Large or small flange?

gareth1978:
small flange

etriedes:
i think you need 194mm with small flange ...

se-bmxer:
184mm should be fine if the nipples are long reach, you should have no problem with the rear as usually suzue rear flange hubs are slightly bigger than
the front, you might want to make sure you are lacing it 3 cross and not 4 cross as it will be short using 4 cross lacing pattern.

184mm with long reach nipples using suzue small flange hubs use 3 cross lacing pattern

194mm with long or short reach nipples using suzue small flange hubs use 4 cross lacing pattern

Hope that helps
