Thanks for your contribution Scott; the original post above has been edited!

Why not just post the actual measurements of hubs and rims......instead of posting combos and length needed......there are too many possible combos.

So if you make a spreadsheet of hub measurements and rim dimensions, you can use one of the many free calculators online to get the length of spokes needed for your particular combo and cross lacing you intend to use.

eventually we could get most popular rims and hubs documented for OS bmx and not ever need to guess again. I think this is easier than trying to list out every possible combo.

That would have been easy IF they were measured b4 being laced.  Some maybe hard to measure after being laced-but I do agree with you.

This is especially the case with ERD-can't be measured with the wheel being laced as I have read.

I also agree Williwoods; however, the issue is that often many members do not know how to properly measure the hubs or rims. If they make an error with this, there is the potential for several individuals to purchase the wrong spoke length. The objective with this post was to simplify the entire process by just sharing known spoke lengths. Although it may take longer, with the contributions of many members, this post could achieve what you're describing over time. If you look at the first post with the listing of spoke/rim/hub combos, you will start to see a pattern developing. It looks like Ukai Speedlines will take the same 194mm spoke length with either GT Superlace hubs or Profile HF Gyrolite II hubs and the same x4 lace pattern. Another combo using the same spoke length is the Z rims and Suntour HF hub. Eventually, with enough data from other members, we can interchange hubs and rims with a given spoke length with complete confidence.

That being said, if you do know the measurements of hubs and ERD of specific rims, please do share that info here, as I feel this would still be the most appropriate thread for it.

Low flange 36h PMC hubs to Araya RB-17's anyone?

Can any of you 26" Cruiser guys help me? I need to order spokes for my cruiser wheels. What length spokes for this combo!

Araya 26" 7X Rims
Shimano Large Flange Hubs

I forgot to state for 4X

I have built many 20" BMX wheels with different hubs and rims combinations. The only time I couldn't use the 194mm spokes was when I laced up an Araya Aero Rims. They needed to be shorter for sure.

Still have not heard from anyone who laced up 26" Cruiser Wheels 4X. Can anyone help me???

Bump

Man, the irony, I was just looking for this post and you bump it today.

Anyone know what size a Suntour coaster hub laced to a 7x needs?

do you have a pick of the hub? If it's like the GT Coaster brake hub, it should be the same length spokes...

Here is a picture of the hub. Not the actuall one though.

Anybody know the spoke length I need for these low flange sealed bearing 36 hole Suntour hubs to go with my Araya 7X 20" rims?  Want to do 3 cross pattern.

194-4x pattern

hey quinonesm, got your thread stickied.. 

Question .... dont rear wheels need a different length then front ??? I noticed that the flanges are closer together on the rear then on the front hubs.

does anyone know the specs on a 20" Araya 7C and Shimano DX low flange hubs. Both were from 1980 I'd guess. Thanks!! I cannot find on any calculator and need spokes.
