SPOKES

Postby PAUL » Fri Mar 02, 2018 8:37 am

Hello all,
Would anyone know the length of the long & short spokes used to lace the rear 18” rim (43005-35) to the old hub 41017-52?
The book gives the length for the spokes used on a 19” rim but not the 18 inch.

Thanks PAUL

Kenny @ Buchanan Spoke and Wheel has always found or made any spoke I needed. Erik

That measurement is what I was deducing since the 19" rim spokes were each an inch longer.
I was hoping someone might have a set laying around they could measure and confirm

There are a lot of self-proclaimed "professionals" that just did not know how to lace them on my 53 K-Model 19" rims. But the good news is, for a newbie to lacing, is that after lacing, re-lacing, lacing again and again, well, I learned how to lace a wheel properly. I do have an extra set of Buchanan spokes if you know the lengths you need.

Good to hear Mayday, I just might take you up on that.
But first...I need to find out what is the length of these little devils.

I just reviewed my book and it says for the 18" rim it needs to have 20 "long" and 20 "short" spokes but does not say the length of each...typical Harley manual for those days!! Do you know the length needed?

No I do not know the size, that is the problem.
I need the measurement of both the long and short spokes used to lace an 18" rim 43005-35 to the original K rear hub 41017-52.
