What hubs are you using with them ?
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

I used 184s with high flange hubs.  Well my wheel builder did ;D  Make sure you get long nipples  >:D as Z rims are a lot thicker than alloy/steel rims and short nips struggle to reach the threads 8)

Not wanting to confuse things but is the info provided 100%?

...I built up some Zeds recently (using Acs hubs) and after speaking to Stidds and taking measurements I bought and built them up, using 182 length spokes??  Bear in mind that zeds have that raised centre on the rim and that was what made the length shorter than I expected.  Just throwing that out there to avoid any chance of getting the wrong thing like  :)

The guy who built my wheels does it for a living so I'm 100% sure he knows what he is talking about.

He used 184s...

It all depends on the pattern you use, either a 3 cross or 4 cross. Obviously a 4 cross pattern would require longer spokes i.e. 194mm  :daumenhoch:

Impressive as that is I built my own with my own eyes and hands and so there was probably less chance of a communication breakdown or mistake as a result.

I used 182s for a 3 cross lace...

To be fair you could probably get away with 184s  :LolLolLolLol:

It all depends on what size the hubs are and what lacing pattern you intend to do.

If you have a set of vernier calipers and a tape measure then I can let know the measurements that are needed to be taken.  When you have the measurements I can calculate the exact spoke length needed as I did with bigsman.

Sorry to throw an other spanner in the works but don't you also need "washers" on the inside of the rims as well  ???

I rebuilt my 36 spoke mike buff z-rims with small flange ACS hubs with 4 cross pattern using a 184mm spoke using the original long spoke nipples. I just about got away with it (the spokes were too short) but would not recommend you use this combination of spokes with 4 cross. I didn't have washers as the original wheels came without them.

So if you have acs small flange hus and want to go 3 cross then 182mm or 184mm is the length you want (there is so little difference in the length it won't really matter too much), and if you're going 4 cross 194mm is the length you want  :daumenhoch:
