Spoke length for Z's
« on: January 09, 2012, 08:07 PM »
Evening all,

Think this question was asked a while back(but not sure :-\), i bought a set of used lavender Z's from across the pond a few months back & have stripped em down. They have the original acs Z hubs(small flange), i bought some white spokes/nipples from the states. They are 194m/m in length, but on closer inspection the original one's i took off are 186m/m in length :-\. have i screwed up?

Can anyone tell what the correct length should be? :daumenhoch:   I have thought that maybe i could run a 2m/m die down the spokes to extend the threaded area & then cut down to length ^"^

Note: i may have my measurements back to front......could be new(196m/m) & old(184m/m).  What a plank eh!!.....turned 40 back in October & memory turning to mush :2funny:

Cheer's guy's,

Buz  :daumenhoch:

Prob just a different cross pattern ... 194 sounds right for small flange hubs 3 cross, whereas 184 is prob on a 4 cross pattern  :daumenhoch:
