I am not going to comment about the spoke size simply because Danny has put up the link to how to measure your own.

However, Z-rims take a shorter spoke than 7X as they have a raised section in the middle of the rim where the spoke sits.

Exactly the kind of comment on spoke sizes that doesn't help.

There are too many variables with spoke sizes, Suzue hubs for example have 3 sizes of flange, high, low and mid flange so each one has a different size spoke.  Every manufacturer makes their hubs differently, flange sizes are different, spoke hole to spoke hole is different etc etc etc.

What is the lacing pattern radial/3x/4x/racelace etc?  Each one means a different size spoke.

Just learn how to measure and calculate them yourself and then you don't spend £25 on a set of spokes that are the wrong size.

Didn't mean to sound harsh, but I had 2 messages again this week from members that took others advice on spoke sizes, spent hard earned £££ on those spokes and found when lacing the wheels up the spokes are the wrong size.

It takes 5 minutes to measure the hubs and rims using the free guide on site, which will save mega ££ in the future.

Money is tight for us all these days and throwing lots at spokes that are potentially the wrong size just seems silly.

Skyways are easy only 10 spokes to lace and you don't even need to true them, just lace them up and throw the wheels in the freezer the will true themselves over night
