There is no 'standard' length spoke. It all depends on your hub, rim and number of spoke crossings. If you can get your rim ERD (Effective Rim Diameter) and hub's HSD (Hub Spoke Diameter) Your best bet if you cant get these measurements is to have a shop remove a spoke and measure it. A spoke off by as little as 2mm may not work. If you get the measurements here is the calculator I use:

3 feet.  That is, if you want the STANDARD length.  I should say 3 feet +, as their are much, much longer.

Don't believe it when you see "184mm" or whatever.  They're wrong.  They mean inches.

what the hell are you talking about

The facts are confusing enough to some people, please don't come on this board spreading disinfomation even in the fom of jokes. Thanks.

Fine, I suppose I'll keep it serious.
But it's not really disinformation - I couldn't really see anyone taking that as real, legit facts/info.

if that was supposed to be a joke up there, it wasnt funny. work on that.

I find his posts quite funny. At first , I thought wtf, then got used to his style. Scotts are hard to understand when talking due to thier strong accent, so lets just say its his accent coming out online.
