Title: Aero Araya to HF hubs??
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on August 13, 2013, 02:12 PM: Guys, if you have a set of Aero Araya rims laced to HF hubs, could you possibly measure the spoke length, from the bend to the thread tip (roughly) and tell me if it's 3 cross or 4 cross please, thanks.

I have followed the Rad guide, used the calculator and coming out with 176/177mm Rear/Front for 3 cross and 187/188mm Rear/Front for 4 cross.

I would just like to know what you are running and what your setup is :daumenhoch:

Cheers,

Terry

This lad is good for custom length spokes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BICYCLE-SPOKES-DT-Swiss-Any-length-any-quantity-4-1-20-stainless-steel-/251317305996?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3a83adc28c#ht_918wt_1203 :daumenhoch:

I used that person for spokes only last week and all's good, great communication and had 108 spokes (in two sizes) custom cut on my doorstep within three days 8)

Also, if my memory serves me right, I laced the fore mentioned wheel set with 181's (back it the days before Sean's link to the 'spoke calculator') but they measure up at 176.
