Ruby 17" Wheel Spoke Lengths - Colin Morgan - 03-06-2021

Hi,

There are two lengths of spoke - does anyone know what they are, please?  (Dimension as per the diagram.)

Thanks,
Colin

I think you'll find that the long ones come in two different lengths (well they do for the 19" wheels). Contact Richards Bros they sell them.

Hi Colin

+1 for Richard Bros.

It's Richard Bros that are asking me to confirm the lengths, as I am trying to buy spares.  I think they are using this as a check that I am asking for (and they are about to send) the right ones! 

(Seem to be about 7" and 4" but hard to measure accurately when mounted in a wheel.)

The Seven Source Book gives them at 12 long 7" and 24 short 4 1/2" Terry.

Thank you, Terry.

Having passed the 7" and 4.5" spoke lengths to Peter Richards in Cardiff he is querying the lengths and asking me if I am sure that they are right.

Looking at the diagram on page 525 of the Source Book, the dimension shown is the straight bit of the wire before the kink - so perhaps the overall are dimensions are greater than these in practice - and as per his photo above?

RE: Ruby 17" Wheel Spoke Lengths - bystander - 04-06-2021

The official Austin Lists of Spare Parts (see Assoc. archive) illustrates the various spoke lengths and the point they are measured from -I certainly wouldn't rely on the Source Book as gospel for anything.

Sorry, where is this on the Archive, please? - can only see a complete wheel in the Parts Lists.
