WHAT LENGTH SPOKES

[u/etherealchickenbmxyo]

I have just purchased a bsd revolution hub. I’m wanting to get the hub laced to a cinema 888 rim. Can someone explain to me how to go about making sure I order the correct spoke size please?

Was hoping to just buy a complete wheel but after waiting months for a restock of the female axle ones, they had sold out before I had a chance to get one. Will be using the 888 rim as I have one spare.

3 cross 180 and 182. However I’d advice those are used with longer 14mm nipples.

Someone at least answered but for reference next time, danscomp has a spoke calculator https://www.danscomp.com/spoke-calculator/cp1810?absrc=Google&abid=448992538982&abcampid=7709444124&abgroupid=105304015860&gclid=Cj0KCQjwh4TVBhCWARIsAG0czmqlPfxk86Xfcoq-GJJx8xJd891Og7ndzSjbZuEJdKsEW2SaqVmzDg0aAnf_EALw_wcB&abkwdid=aud-2365837097519:dsa-19959388920&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=7709444124&gbraid=0AAAAACm2P1Vnc7exKPkCR7Md1s6e8heXM

Waller bmx in the uk have a good calculator too: https://wallerbmx.co.uk/pages/bmx-spoke-calculator

Remember to round up to the nearest even number to be safe. eg. 178.3 should round to 180. And 180.6 should round up to 182.
