Building a Choppers US 24X4 (the double bump one) wheel with a nexus 3 speed. Does anybody know the spoke size I'd use for a 3 cross or a radial lacing?
You'd need to get some dimension information for both the hub and the rim, but there are online calculators that can answer your question. This is one I've used - its actually pretty straightforward, just read the tutorial: www.bikeschool.com/tools/spoke-length-calculator
I also have an app for that on my phone. I usually use both to make sure that I'm getting consistent results.
