Spokes and hubs.....

Where can I get 120mm spokes for my skinny Ukais and does anyone do axle kits for Suntour hubs?

Oh dear......  :crazy2:   This is gonna be my first bash at replacing spokes. So is there rocket science involved in correct lengths? I just measured from end to end, 120mm.

120mm is very short for 20" rims . 

When you say skinny wheels im assuming they are 20 x 1 3/8 ths rims  ???

In which case i would say it's more likely to be nearer to 220mm , i built some with 215mm spokes.

Tell me the size of the wheels and the hubs you want to use and i'll do my best to help on the correct spokes  ;) Sean (Stidds) has done a spoke calculator and wheel build thread in the Tech and resto stickies  :daumenhoch:

Feck me..... sorry, I wrote down 220 and typed 120... twice! I'm a tit!!    :uglystupid2:  220 it defo is as I removed a couple from the wheels earlier.   :daumenhoch:  Got 2 pairs of 3/8ths complete wheels but could really do with all spokes replaced just to tart em up a bit.

 :LolLolLolLol:  That sounds more like it  :daumenhoch:

There's a guy on ebay who will cut spokes to any length you want http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/36-DT-SWISS-PLAIN-GAUGE-SPOKES-ANY-SIZE-BICYCLE-PRAM-/260952582379?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3cc1fc68eb ;)

or Dave (Stodgy) at the Rad BMX shop might be able to help  :daumenhoch:

Not sure on the Suntour axle kits .
