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.
