Go for it....it does say on the site that they fit standard 14g spokes. I've never heard of different threaded spokes for 20" wheels.

If in doubt check with Alans.

They look really cool btw :daumenhoch:

You can get different size (guage) spokes and nipples , so obviously you do need the right spokes for the right nipples. 14g is the more common bmx size though.  :)

From what little i know......

Those will do nicely for standard 14g (2mm) diameter spokes.  The 194mm length of spoke and those 12mm nips would work for a SR/Suzue small flange hub and alloy rim (Pro Class/Araya/Ukai) combo.  I did a set recently.  You'll need to check the correct spoke lengths for other combo's (lacing a Bullseye would probably take a shorter spoke).

If you're looking to lace up a set of Z-Rims you'll need longer than 12mm Nips.  The Z-Rim is thicker than alloys so 16mm is the way to go, with a shorter spoke.  The 16mm anno nips are pretty hard to come by.  I've been looking for long red nips for ages now.  Haven't had a bite anywhere ;D

There's also the lacing pattern to take into account.....3x, 4x, straight laced?  Sh*t, it's a real can of worms.

Check out some of the posts on the US sites, and Sheldon Brown for top tips (http://sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html)
