Bikes: One brand-less build-up, and a Connondale Synapse Carbon Ultegra Disc. A nicer bike than I need, but it was a good deal, so... ;-)

Once you have decided on a rim and hub, get a copy of Spocalc.xls (if you have Excel or Open Office available), or use one of the handy online spoke length calculators (DT Swiss has a good one).

You need to know your hub and rim first, though. The dimensions of each will determine the resulting length(s) required.
