Just wanted to know what length and size does a Felt Baron 24" spokes? Need to purchase new spokes for them. Any help is appreciated. Also any idea where I can purchase them. Thanks

take one out an measure it will be the best thing to do, one thing you may have a challenge with is finding custom cut 12g spokes.

Thank you Migz... I did measure it already, just wanted to make sure. Measured at 235mm. Would you think a 14G powder coated spoke would work? I'm having a hard time finding a 12G that size. Thanks.

I'm not sure 14G will work, I assume it will but to make sure get a 14G nipple and set it in the rim to make sure it does not fall through the larger hole that was needed for the 12G nipple. if the nipple does not fall though it will work.

Did you have a spoke break?

No, all spokes are in tact. But I wanted to re-lace them with red spokes and powder coat the rim black.

I laced the wheels for my HB using Felt rims/14g spokes, and no issues with nipples pulling through the holes.

Holmes Hobbies is the only place I'm aware of for custom length 12g spokes, but only in bare stainless or black.
