Welcome to the forum,

Look up Sapim spoke lengh calculator.
Take measurements and it will come up with the length you need.

Personally, I always use three cross pattern for strength, and double butted spokes, but others will beg to differ.

Good luck

Mike

Agree with Mike. I have the same hubs on Mavic 217 rims and used 267mm spokes for front wheel and rear non drive side, with 265mm drive side. All built 3 cross double butted spokes.

Re:

Don't forget to lace and leave the spoke gap for a pump to fit over the valve comfortably and orientate the rim so that the label is readable from the bicycle's right side. If the hub has a label running along the barrel, it should be located so that it can be read through the valve hole.

there are numerous wheel build instructional videos on you-tube, to help you figure out how to lace up and pattern your build. the 'three cross' is the most popular style, and thus the easiest to find videos on ...

Re:

Thanks again.

all i need is to confirm length of spokes:

M-Power wrote this, and thanks for that.
267mm spokes for front wheel and rear non drive side, with 265mm drive side.

HI Robin,

Check the measurements, Edd is a very accurate spoke calculation app. but often the entered data of rims and hubs is wrong, or there's a difference between model years making the data wrong. Take the measures from the parts you have accurately and use those to calculate what you need.
