Spoke Lengths.

[Rampage]

Hi, I have a large quantity of spokes to get rid of.

I’ve measured a few and sizes seem to mainly be: 268, 270, 292mm.
Are these likely to be for 26” wheels or a different size?

Thanks.

IIRC 26" tend to come in around 260-264mm for 3x; other lacings would be shorter.

Thanks.

292 is a sort of shimano hub/open pro 3x length
268/270 might be 2x or for the rear wheel DS.

Re:

268/270 would be possible for something like an M231 to Hope lightweight/ultralight.

A 28hole 3X Mavic230 to Hope Ultralight is 270.7 for instance
268 if it was a 32hole version.

MA40 is an even larger ERD than M231 IIRC.

MA40 is an even larger ERD than M231 IIRC.

Yes according to https://leonard.io/edd/ by a few mm. Araya top end (395/400, not sure about the rest) are out at similar M231/230 ERD.

The main part is needing that skinny front hub or 28 Hole (could use a 28 hole rear hub and just get away with it I think)
