Wanted: Spokes

I've just measured my hub and rim and calculated the spokes and for four cross it's coming up at 306mm.

I've had a look around and I can't find spokes bigger than about 297-302mm

Does anyone have any lying around or know a decent place to get them from.

I don't really want to have to resort to getting my wheel built up in a shop just because it's easier to get the spokes that way.

Thanks.

I shall have a look see what I have, but can't promise they will be more than 302mm?

I've a box of Berg Union d/b galvanised 305 mm spokes - a bit like Sapim Lasers but non-shiny :-(. You can what you need have them for nothing except postage .. that is, if you're not bashful about non-shiny spokes.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
