Choosing Your Spokes

So you’ve decided your building wheels, replacing a spoke or getting some spares. you’ll need to know a few key measurements and how to get that critical spoke measurement. You’ll need to obtain some info on rim ERD, number of spokes, rim offset, lacing pattern, length and type of nipples, type of spoke, hub flange dimensions and frame spacing. It sounds a little over whelming though lets take it one step at a time. I will have a detailed guide on how to get to the point where you can comfortably buy spokes though for now please see a couple of links below and if you have any other queries please contact us directly.
