Title: Araya rims, Suzue hubs, which spokes??
Post by: sparkysx on August 20, 2012, 06:38 PM

Hi,

Bought some nice NOS Araya 36's 1.75 x 20 and some Suzue sealed hubs.

Went to Groove and he said I need 186mm spokes for these, but I don't think he took into account that the rear hub has a wider diameter than the front.

The measurement across the face of the rear hub is 52mm and the front is 46mm.

Does anyone know what size spokes I should be buying for these?

Those are the right ones mate. im no specialist but the width shouldnt make a massive difference to the length.
