acs z rim spoke size
bigsman:
The guy who built my wheels does it for a living so I'm 100% sure he knows what he is talking about.
He used 184s...

Impressive as that is I built my own with my own eyes and hands and so there was probably less chance of a communication breakdown or mistake as a result.
I used 182s for a 3 cross lace...
To be fair you could probably get away with 184s :LolLolLolLol:

It all depends on what size the hubs are and what lacing pattern you intend to do.
If you have a set of vernier calipers and a tape measure then I can let know the measurements that are needed to be taken. When you have the measurements I can calculate the exact spoke length needed as I did with bigsman.

Sorry to throw an other spanner in the works but don't you also need "washers" on the inside of the rims as well ???

I rebuilt my 36 spoke mike buff z-rims with small flange ACS hubs with 4 cross pattern using a 184mm spoke using the original long spoke nipples. I just about got away with it (the spokes were too short) but would not recommend you use this combination of spokes with 4 cross. I didn't have washers as the original wheels came without them.
So if you have acs small flange hus and want to go 3 cross then 182mm or 184mm is the length you want (there is so little difference in the length it won't really matter too much), and if you're going 4 cross 194mm is the length you want :daumenhoch:
