Spoke lengths

[wildon]

So i need to lace a set of Campy C-Record track (sheriff star) hubs to 20x1.75 36h 7x with a 4 cross.  I'm using this ..  http://www.prowheelbuilder.com/spokelengthcalculator/

Its saying i need different lengths for each side of the wheels 

Rear ...
Left spoke length: 198.9
Right spoke length: 196.5

Front ...
both: 197

Am i going to be ok just using 197 all around?  and if so, anyone know where i can get them?

Cheers

I don't know personally but 197's sounds far too long, even for 4cross lace (7x to high flange)

I think the difference in spoke length on the rear hub is due to the hubs you're using normally being fitted to a bike with multi speed free wheel, therefore giving more spacing on the drive side to allow for that.

I'd try lacing them 3cross with 184's and see what happens



Probably no help but somebody had to say something, good luck

last time i laced a wheel & the spokes were to long, once they were trued i carefully grinded the excess spoke off with my angle grinder. beware tho you need a steady hand... hope that helps

I would have thought a set of 184 to 187 spokes would work a treat for a lace 4 on a large flange hub...



Suzue low flange to 7xs are 194 for a lace 4
