Hi All,

am going to have to get these re-spoked and was wandering if anyone knew what length to get? And where to get them from?



Cheers
Steve

stidds:
184mm spokes will do the job.

Try cyclesportuk, they do 100 spokes and nipples for £10

virtualmeuk:
cool. I havnt got a clue about spoke lengths :idiot2:

Also i have these sr 36 hole hubs and some other 36 hole rims. What spokes do i need for them?



Cheers in advance

Steve

virtualmeuk:
OK. I have stripped the first set of spokes out of the wheel in the first pictures and they measure as follows-




Am i right in assuming that the '184mm' is from the bend in the spoke to the start of the thread?

Cheers
Steve

kuwahero:
I believe if you hang the spoke over the end of the ruler and measure it. thats how you find the correct length. dont quote me though.

if laced 3 cross it should be 185mm and 195mm for 4 cross. from the pic I think its four cross which would support the 195mm you measured. so forget what I said in the previous line  :LolLolLolLol:

your sr are hubs are different. high flange front hub as above. low flange you will need to check as it will be slightly different


hope this helps
