I am rebuilding two sets of wheels but don't know what spoke lengths to get.
One set is a pair of ukais with large flange hubs front and rear.
The second set is a pair of Arayas with a large flange front and small (normal) flange rear.
They will both be the Old School 3 cross style, but have no idea what size spokes to get.
Anbody help?
mucho gracias

Thats great! The best chart Ive ever seen.
No 48 spokes on there tho?

no 48 spokes on my rides either >:D

48s were 90s only I guess. Not out in the early 80s, old hat in 2000s.
I guess you cant really get a low flange 48 hole hub and the rims are all 20 x 1.75 so its only really one spoke length anyway. Not much of a "chart" there is there?

Twas good enough for me apart from i need 185mm and 189mm and all i can find is 184s, 186s and 190s. :laugh:

:daumenhoch: Jim there is a guy in the US who cuts em to length and they work out about the same as over here if ya get nipples (bout £20 for 72 spokes n nips but he chucks afew spare spokes in incase ;) ) if there's no rush, i am sure somebody in the uk must offer same service but i am a patient man ;) >:D ::) :LolLolLolLol:

I've always got good answers from Custom Riders on wheel building queries. As for a 1mm difference in lengths, I wouldn't worry about it. Too long can be cut down, and 1mm too short is no harm, no foul as you'll have way more than 1mm screwed into the nipple.... ;)
