Yes but don't take my measurements as right, as that swan guy says "for 4 cross", depends on how your going to lace your wheel, I'm guessing your talking about using 36 spokes? I've got a Hozen spoke thread cutter, so I can use any size spoke, I just cut them to size and thread them to suit. Try and get your head around the spoke length guide, there's a few on the net to use..!

As a general guide, it's 192 - 194mm low flange to 7X and 184mm High Flange to 7X

This is simple to use buddy. Sean spent a whole day laying this out for people to use  :D and he gets upset when people don't use it as he could have been doing sod all  :daumenhoch:
