Hello
Can anyone tell me the correct size spokes for the rear wheel of my 1961 Constellation as my spares manual states 6 5/8 (20). and 6 1/4 (20) but Hitchcocks parts state 6 5/8 and 6 3/4
Regards

Are you sure that you are reading your book correctly? All of my parts books list 6 5/8 + 6 3/4.


Same spokes are used in most 19" twin rear wheels

Thanks TimNZ
I have checked the parts manual and magnified the page and it definitely states 6 1/4 but I do agree this must be a mistake
I will measure a spoke when I start to rebuild the rim and order from Hitchcocks the appropriate size
Thanks again for the re assurance
