Asked Commencal for the exact length of spokes on my 2015 Meta. Reasonably quick response.

Apparently there are 4 different lengths:

front wheel : left 271mm / right 275mm
rear wheel : left 273mm / right 272mm

Wheels are made up with own brand Ride Alpha parts.

Glad I did not purchase a set of 16 from CRC. I roughly measured them to be 270mm.

You'd have probably been ok with 270 - maybe a little towards the edge on the 275s but I've done worse and ended up with durable wheels.

It's pretty common to have four different length spokes for a wheel set.

Whether you need four lengths depends on how you chose to solve and how they rounded up or down in the first place.

Arguably, you could have 3 sets of 272mm spokes and they'd comfortably do the 271 and 273 spokes too, winding up only very slightly long or short on the others. 272 to 275 is a bit too close for comfort in my book though, so you'd need to get them separately.

273s all round would do the job.
