Help figuring out what spokes size I need
Hi everybody,
I recently ordered a fork to convert and old mountain bike into a cargo bike (Crust Clydesdale fork) and I need a wheel with the following:
-20 inch wheelset
-Disc brake hub
-9mm axle
So, I'm thinking I'm going to get a Shimano Deore Disc Hub M252A and 36h Hoffman Generator rims because both are on sale. But, then I don't know what size spokes I need and I'm having trouble figuring out the specs of both pieces online. Any tips? First time building a wheel so its all a mystery to me beyond spacing, wheel size, and hole count.

Buying spokes online too? This is where I buy from. Although I have not done so, they say you can call them for advice.
