Broken Wheel Spoke

[John King]

Hello,

I have noticed my 72 T100R has a broken rear wheel spoke. The parts book shows there are 90 degree spokes and 110 degree spokes. I'm fairly certain this one is 90 degree. Then the parts book shows 7 9/16 inch and 7 7/8 inch. I haven't taken the wheel apart yet but how would I get the correct measurement?

Thanks!
John

Good question. Hopefully someone has the answer. With my luck being as it is it would be the one I didn't order.

The length of the spoke from the bend to the face of the rim, plus about 1/8". That should be much closer to one dimension than the other.

I would also think that the longer spoke would go with the greater angle and the shorter with the less angle ! but don't quote me on that !!!
