Kinda Urgent - Help Spoke Length...
Blew a spoke on the back wheel of my Bianchi, here in Jamaica, this morning. The wheel sports a Campagnolo Record hub from the early eighties and is laced to an Ambrosia Elite rim. My notes, regarding the spoke length, are in Canada. So...
Does anyone know the length for the spokes of a 700c Ambrosia Rim (36 holes with three cross) to a Campy Record hub. Once I have this information, I will see if my Black River bike shop friend can help me sort this out. Thanks.

Why not just measure the existing ones?

Leonard says
297 right side (drive side) rear
298 left side rear.
Since you have the wheel, you don't really need a spoke calculator. You can measure the spoke on the wheel, or piece together the broken one and measure that.
EDIT: beat me to it^^^ I used "super elite" 622 not elite 630, based on the sticker. ERD 615

I'm both a cheap and lazy bastage. I did buy a truing stand, but with a broken mount, so it was, like, $5 at a swap years ago, and it's a slight PITA to use with the funny mount. And I'm often too lazy to use it. If it's just a quick post-pothole true-up, or after a single spoke replacement, I true the wheel "in frame" on the work stand, tire on, and just hold something (literally whatever's handy, a pen, a screwdriver, the spoke wrench...) on the stay next to the rim, and spin it. So I'm not dependent on eyeballing it.
