Yes they are, but contact them 1st before ordering to make sure they have enough in stock.  I ordered online once and then they sent me the next length up (too long) as they didn't have enough to complete my order.

Will do, I will work out what size I need for the 36H tonight & phone them tomorrow.

I built a pair of 36 H Araya's a while ago using your guide & they came out spot on & I enjoyed doing it  :daumenhoch:

No Dan has given me the size for the 48s its 182mm

Its the 36 H I need, now this chart says 189mm for small flange 20 x 1.75 three cross.

Thanks for help again everyone  :daumenhoch:

So I should be ordering 72 x 189mm Spokes & 96 x 182mm spokes  ???
