Hello,

I have received the spokes for the 18'' trial rim but the length puzzles me.

The original wheel has two different lengths of spokes, but the kit (part no 92507) seem to have all the same length.

Should I expect two different lengths in the bag?

Thanks,
Mattias

Hi Mattias, if there is only a small difference in the length of your old spokes, say perhaps 2mm or so, I suspect the slightly longer ones were 'outside' spokes and it shouldn't matter too much if the new ones are all the same. If so, you will probably find you will have to grind off some excess from the spokes once the wheel is built, to prevent your inner tube getting punctured. If there was a bigger difference in the lengths of the old spokes, I would check on what you have. Regards, Paul.

Hi, what type of hub do you have? Vince
