Spoke sizes question

[brass monkey!]

Gents,

I got a NOS pair of Z-Rims in the mail today, I'm gonna build them up with large flange gold suntour hubs,

Question: What length spokes do I need ? And do I use standard nipples (fnaaar, fnaar!!)

Thanks for any help !!

178s should do the job long nipples are best.

at last ! thanks guys  

i do like a long nipple too !!  

[harris]

yo can also use 182rear 184 front i think with a tighter cross pattern

Yeah, I'd use 184's for a cross 4 build ... defo use long nipps due to nylon rim thickness too 

Try this handy spoke calculator if you're unsure ... !!! CLICKETY CLICK !!!
