Title: Chrome Spokes
Post by: virtualmeuk on April 18, 2008, 01:03 PM

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me where i can get 194mm Chrome spokes from? Been looking everywhere and cant find any?

Need to build 4 no. 36 hole wheels. 3 are large flange hubs and 1 is small.

Also Not sure what spoke length i need for the small flange? Do i do em 3 or 4 cross? and what length will i need?


 Any help appreciated

Assuming you're building 20x1.50 or 1.75 (7X type) rims ... use the following for a cross 4 pattern  :daumenhoch:

194mm spokes for low flange hubs ... 184mm for high flange

This is what i am gettin confused with. The wheels i have stripped had 194 spokes and were high flange hubbs with 7x's. They were 4 cross as well so surely i need 194's again for the hight flange? And the low flange wont do 4 cross so i am guessing they will have to be 3 cross?

Its all very confusing and i dont want to order the wrong thing :'(

If you're unsure you will need to take all the measurements required and use  !!! THIS SPOKE CALCULATOR !!!  (http://www.geocities.com/d_halem/wheel/wheel.html)  :daumenhoch:
