Title: What size spokes do I need ??
Post by: Nigel on July 09, 2018, 01:18 PM

Bought some rims and some suzue hubs and thought I would have a go at building some wheels up
Jesus Christ can I work out the size of spokes I need
I’ve measured the length on other wheel sets I’ve got but all seem to be slightly different
Looked at a calculator for it and that fooked my head up
Does anyone have a simple step to working the right length out
Thanks

The suzue hubs are low flange 40 mm diameter holes

Araya 7X laced to low flange hubs are 184mm in 3X pattern... if that helps.  :daumenhoch:
