Spoke length Trek 7.1 fx
 
Hi !

I plan to change my spokes to stainless steel.
I would really appreciate if anyone could give me the exact length of the spokes required for the 700c wheel of the Trek 7.1 fx. 2010. and is it the standard 14 gauge

Your spokes are already stainless steel odds are.

Have you built a wheel before? There's more to it than just "swapping spokes".

Hi !
Thanks for replying ! No i would be having the job done by a professional. But unfortunately you do not get quality spokes in india and thus i have to order it online.

if you can't get good laces... can you get a good lacing? perhaps you should ship the wheels

No unfortunately they aren't stainless steel only plain Ms. I have tried with the magnet and it sticks. The magnet does not stick to stainless steel.
I would be having a professional do the job ( wheel building).
Shipping wheels would be really expensive, practically 60 % of the price of the bike.
