184mm to 186mm for 3 Cross

194mm for 4 Cross

Best of luck with the Z's the worst wheel I've ever built  :LolLolLolLol:

Never done 1.5's Mick

but the nipples are in the centre , so the width of the rim shouldn't matter


as long as they aren't aero's they should be same

1 3/8's (sew ins ) will be different as I don't think they are a true 20" wheel

There are some good online spoke calculators where you enter your own rim/hub measurements and it gives you the correct spoke size.
Many have common hubs/rims listed but more mtb than bmx.
