Title: Spoke size needed.
Post by: smartfella on July 07, 2015, 03:05:30 PM

Hi All,
I need help from you good people on the spoke sizes for the following.

19" rear rim with a 190mm brake hub. Other side 120mm
21" front rim with a 190mm brake hub. Other side 85mm.

I tried calling some shops but they won't tell me the sizes I need. I have to tell them and they supply.

Thank you all.

It's a bit more complicated that this. You need some very good measurements and a spoke length calculator. There are hundreds now on the web, but I use the one that I wrote in 2000: http://earlymotor.com/leon/misc/html/spoke.htm

Be sure to read and understand the tips, or you will end up with a fist-full of useless spokes.
