I need help with spoke sizes PLEASEI'm using a Wheelmaster 24 x 2.125 36 hole hoop that I purchased from Niagara Cycle and a 1971 Sturmey Archer 3 speed type AW 36 hole hub. I have looked online at spoke sizing calculators and am completely confused. There seems to be so many things to measure and I don't know if I am even measuring correctly. If anyone can tell me what size spokes I need I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks...Jim
Re: I need help with spoke sizes PLEASEHere's a spoke length calculator with a diagram to show you what to measure:
http://www.prowheelbuilder.com/spokelengthcalculator/ Using the diagram shown there, you can measure the hub dimensions needed with a dial caliper or something similar. Careful measuring with a tape measure will give you the dimension needed for the wheel. You can ignore most of the stuff on the left other than "Number of spokes" and "Lacing pattern". I tried being serious, but it was boring.
Re: I need help with spoke sizes PLEASEThanks Peat, I think I got it. That calculator is better than the other ones I tried to use. Thanks
