Building a wheel
 

Years ago I bought spooked needed to build a wheel. I got them mix and match with other lengths and now o don't even remember the measurements of it.

I want to build a wheel again how can I check to see if the ones I have are adequate.

There are spoke length programs on the net that you put in the answers to all of their questions they will give you the answer you want. What you gave here is not enough to help. Roger

You need various measurements from the rim and hub you plan to use to calculate spoke length.UBI has never steered me wrong.

I cant post a link yet, but I built my most recent set of wheels using the 'prowheelbuilder' spoke calculator. Just Google prowheelbuilder to get their website. I liked it mainly because it has some nice schematics to help you figure out where to take the measurements on hubs and rims. Spoke length calculation pretty much matched a few others I tried with the same values.

I have used that one too.https://www.prowheelbuilder.com/spokelengthcalculator

I have a bunch of unlabeled spokes and I don't know how to determine what they are. How can I check

Metric side of a ruler for length. Calipers or micrometer or feel comparison to known for gauge.

Might be better to just order the correct lemgth for a project...

True,

But I just spent some good money on it when I bough it. I atleast want to know if I have them already and not wasting money buying more

Measure your rims, and hubs and use the spoke length calculators folks have mentioned.

Get a metric ruler and hang spokes on it by the j-hook. You should be able to measure each one, and sort them. You'll have two (front and rear non-drive side, and rear drive side) or three (front, rear DS, and rear NDS) lengths. If they match your rim and hub for length, great. Otehrwise, put them on e-bay and buy new.

They make spoke rulers.

I use a transparent 12 inch / 300mm ruler; like one of these: https://www.amazon.com/BAZIC-Jewelto.../dp/B003BMX65A

12''=304.8mm. Remember those CM things on the side of the ruler opposite the "inches"? 1 of them is 10mm.

If you have various lengths grouped together, lay them on a table with a straight side.
Push the J bend against the edge and you can easily see the differences.
