    Hope Pro2s (front and rear) on Stan's Arch rims. Fairly common set up so does anyone here know what length spokes i 'should' have from their experience?

    Sorry if this is lazy but i have'nt applied myself enough to use a spoke calculator.

    So you can have a lazy guess, errr 262 3 cross.

    Lazy enough for you 😛

    Not a very scientific reply given your username is it? I expected lots of symbols i don't understand.

    it wants to be 3 cross though now you mention it!

    I think it would probably have take you less time to use the calculator than type your two messages here.

    looks like 260 – 262 was about right…

    I think last time I built a pair up with Flow rims it was 258 and 260. I remember because the bulb hubs I did at the same time were 260 and 262

    * Hub: Hope Pro 2, rear
    * Rim: Stans Arch
    * Number of spokes: 32
    * Crosses: 3
    * Spoke length left: 261.3
    * Spoke length right: 261.3

    * Hub: Hope pro 2, front
    * Rim: Stans Arch
    * Number of spokes: 32
    * Crosses: 3
    * Spoke length left: 260.3
    * Spoke length right: 262

    I would just buy a box of 262 and do both wheels, unless you wanna get all weight weenie then you could buy 3 box's in the correct size but since your using hope hubs I will assume that weight is not the major issue.

    Sorry for reply before, I was on my way out.

    PS. I can also add some strange symbols if you want 😀
