Dan's Comp sent 184mm and they were perfect.

Thanks for contributing Gary! That's exactly what we need so keep it coming guys.

Great thread Marcus! - Super helpful.
That GT Coaster hub is crazy!

Anyone know what size spokes to use for Sunshine Sealed hubs - going to Araya 7x's?
They're not quite high Flange, and they're slightly taller than most Low Flange hubs - definitely bigger than bullseyes.

I like this thread! Post your hoop/hub/spoke-length combo!

Peregrine HP-48 Hoop, Peregrine Sealed High Flange Hubs, 4x, tall nipples, 182mm
Peregrine Speedline 48 Hoop, Peregrine Loose-ball High Flange Hubs, 4x, tall nipples, 184mm
ACS Z-48 Hoop, Peregrine Loose-ball High Flange Hubs, 4x tall nipples, 182mm
Ukai Speedline 48 Hoop, Redline (Peregrine) Loose-ball High Flange Hubs, 4x, tall nipples, 184mm

Thank you! That's exactly the kind of info we need. Not knocking the other contributions that point us to a link at another site (for measurements), but the idea of this post is to provide proven spoke length combination's that we can list right here. We're trying to save someone else the trouble of taking the measurements (in possibly the wrong manner) and wasting money (on the wrong length of spoke) and time in finding out the hard way. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread thus far! Please, let's keep it going.

Marcus , you should add Mike's detailed list to the very 1st post on the thread - along with your combos, for easy reference.
And as the answers keep rolling in - keep them all listed in the beginning.

Great thread!

Good idea Matt! Original post has been edited and I will continue to do so as more data is provided.

Profile Race hubs (the older big body style)
and
24"  36 hole Sun Rhyno Lites

Thanks G!

As a guide:

small/low flange hubs = 194mm spokes, 4X
big/large flange hubs = 184mm spokes, 4X

Just came across this and think it can be built into a very helpful reference.

For all those with suggestions for existing databases, I have not used any of them but I do think a database that is specific to OUR interest would be MUCH more helpful.

Keep this one alive.

Son-lites to 26" ACS Z-Rims????

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.
