Spokes for 18" rear

[bkaushansky]

I have a rear 36 spoke hub that will mate with an 18" akront 2.15 wheel. Will MikesXS 18" stainless spokes work?? Part #19-0060

If the rim is the Akront style flanged rim from a 650 and the hub is also from a 650 then, yes, those spokes will work. If the rim is a real Akront and the hub is from something else, then the spokes may not work. The rim would need the correct angle on the spoke holes and the hub would need to be the right diameter.

5twins,
Real Akront rim (WM3), real xs650 rear hub. I can change the spoke angle, concerned about length.

Well, I think they'll work then. If not, you could easily sell them to another 650 rider here or on some other forum I'll bet. The stock 18" rear spokes are about 148mm long if that helps.

Thanks for the length info.
