  • I am a bit embarrassed to ask this, you would hope that by my age wheels would be less of a mystery.

    My partner is about to go off and do RideAcrossBritain and wants to take some spokes just in case.

    How do I measure the spokes without taking one out.. If I measure from the point where they come from the hub to the rim, is there a standard amount I should add to get spoke length? or is it harder than that?

  • Measure from the elbow/head of the spoke to the rim surface.

    If you are 1/2mm out it isn't going to matter in an emergency.
