Spoking a rear wheel. Needing some help..

[Lowlife Lucas]

I need some help. and I know you guys can help me
I want to build a 26 inch rear wheel, but I'm not sure what length spokes ill need. But, I've took some pics

I thought about trying some spokes out of a 24 inch rear wheel, but I've never spoked a wheel, so I'm not real sure about it :?

You need 10 5/8" spokes. The spokes from the 24" wheel will be too short. Gary

He who knows the length, without using a spoke length calculator, I bow to the GURU!
Need to know hub spoke diameter, rim diameter, and how many crosses, then the spoke length can be figured out. Unless you've built that wheel combination before.....

Yep I'm with B607. I always use the spoke calculator and then use 10 5/8 to build the wheel.

Some thing just don't look right, the hub looks like its a 28 or a?? hole and the rim is a 36 hole. Some of the kids coaster brake are 28 hole. I found a few of the coaster brake BMX bikes came with the 36 and even the 40 hole hub.

258 to 260mm are the length that I needed. And it comes down to the rim on the spoke length, raised or flat center on the rim.

These are a couple different rims, raised or flat center of the rims, 2 are 32 hole and 2 are 36 hole. Can you spot the difference?

It looked like a generic rim and a generic hub so I gave you the length of generic spokes for most 40's-70's rim hub combos. Large flange hubs? Oddball rims? Length will be different, of course. Gary
