    find out the rim ERD and put the figures into a spoke calculator, including the pattern for the spokes.

    also what size hubs? and how many holes.

    From the info provided it is not possible to give you any info so have a look yourself.

    thanks for the quick reply nicklouse but i dont have a spoke calculator and was expecting to find that there were standard lengths for particular hub/rim combinations.del

    You need to find an online calculator - try the one at DT Swiss - may have pre set values.
