Title: spoke length
Post by: rollin72 on August 26, 2009, 10:27 PM

do you measure from the threaded end to where the bend is or to the very end if that makes sense, or does 194mm seem the right length for a pair of zeds going on a z hub, nice1 gaz :daumenhoch:

Make sure you buy long nipples (ooh-err) as Z's are much thicker than an alloy or steel wheel and those short nipples that come with some spokes, struggle to reach the threads.
