Hi, Central Wheel does not seem to have this information. I have a full width non-Ariel, non QD  rear hub, and will fit 19 inch rims. Does anyone know the FULL spoke length (head to tip) or the UH length  and gauge for this application?

Many Thanks

Peter

By "non-Ariel" do you mean the full-width cast-iron hub that came out in '58?

G'day Peter.
Draganfly have a good list https://draganfly.co.uk/data/pdf/Rims%20and%20spokes%20BSA.pdf
5-5/8" is listed for 42-5848
I always try to get Buchanan's spokes http://www.buchananspokes.com/products/spoke_kits_bsa.asp
Use anti seize.
Cheers
You wrote while I was. 42-5811 is for the 7" hub. 6-3/16"

Hi Peter

There is a mistake in Draganfly`s list. 42-5811 must be 8/10 Gauge.
