Whyte RD-7 rims, what spokes?

joecamel

Hey all,

I've got some RD-7 Rims on my Whyte Dorset (2015) and I need to replace a spoke. I believe they're really Alex Rims?!

How do I know what spokes to buy? They can't be hard to replace right?

I emailed Whyte but got no reply.

Any help much appreciated.
Cheers

Remove the broken spoke and measure the length.
Look if the ends are thicker, might be 20,0 and 1,8 mm , but most likely 2,0 plain gauge.

measure another spoke on the same side from the hub insert to the point where it enters the nipple, then add 8-9 mm and you should have the right size
