Measuring Spokes
Measuring spokes is a process made easy by a ruler (Park Tool SBC-1 Spoke Ruler) designed for the purpose. They are anodized blue and have special holes on them for hooking and measuring spokes.
- Hook the spoke into the hole.
- Pull the spoke straight. NOTE: Do not to angle it to one side or the other.
- Check the length further down the ruler.
NOTE: The drawers in the spoke motel are 2mm apart; if the spoke is in between two sizes, file it with the shorter size.
