Matthew62 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'm looking for some spokes in 239 and 240 for a 24'' build and i can't seem to find those lengths. I've tried ''all things 24'' and Billys.co.uk but i can;t seem to get hold of these sizes. What have other people done who run SUn Rhyno Lite's on Pro 2's?Any info would be great!Cheers.

Skoze Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Take your hub and rim to your local bike shop, i'm sure they'll measure them up and give you the lengths! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Most places will only stock even (some only odd) lengths, so you may just need a full set of 240mm spokesDT Swiss Champion - CRC, plain guage, not too bad, and in the length you needAha - Just looked on the DT Swiss spoke calculator for you - assuming the wheels are 32h and built 3x, you need 240 for the whole rear wheel, and half 240, half 238 for up front (assuming the shop you buy from only does evens...)

Matthew62 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Excuse my ignorance, but does that mean you have to have different spoke lengths on the front wheel to accomodate the flange on the disc side? So for instance...16 spokes in one lenght and 16 in the other? Because when i asked tarty about the spoke lengths i would need for this build i was told ''239 disc front, 241 non disc, 240 rear'', does that mean 16 of 239mm for the front wheel and 16 of 241mm? I feel bad for asking them anymore questions as i've already burdened them with countless spoke related questions.Thanks a lot for your help,Matt.

psycholist Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Usually the spokes from the disk side are slightly shorter as the hub flange has been moved in to make room for the disk (If both are the same diameter). For a 32 hole rim you'll need 16 of each spoke length - just remember to keep them segregated while you're lacing the wheel up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Can you get away with using a spoke length 1mm less than suggested? Because looking around i can't even find a place that sells 239mm or 241mm spokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
