Aeros are a deeper dish wheel though so I'd have thought they'd need shorter than those for a 7X

if you get spokes from alans you tell them what hub/rim you have and weather 3 or 4 cross and they supply the correct length spokes :daumenhoch:

nail on the head Longun.

Check with some of the folk at the burner forum, as (to me at least) they seem to be the most proliferent users of the aero rims for the aero pro burners.

the dude inj my brothers shop just laced some aeros for me, using 194's onto suzue small flange hubs, and they are perfect...no problems at all...

the rims were 1.5's though, but i dont think that would make any difference.
