Spoke length.

I need to replace some broken spokes and to get some as spares.

So I need to know how to measure the spoke length.


I've got a tape measure and removed a spoke what next :?

Cool, thanks for the clarification.

:touch wood: I've not had to replace a spoke yet, but it's good to know these things for when the time comes.
