Hi all... I have this bike as my daily commute, and I've had a fair few rear spoke breakages which I'd like to start fixing myself.


How would I got about sizing which spokes/nipples I need? The wheels are apparently CUBE UX24, 32H.
 
There is a little bit of wiggle room in spoke length but its a couple of mm. I don't suppose you have any of the broken spokes you could measure. You could also remove a spoke to measure it. Some hub/rim combinations show up on spoke length calculators but you usually have to have quite high end wheels before thats the case.

You might have some joy emailing a wheelbuilder as some of them have encyclopaedic knowledge of this sort of things or at least a lot of information on different combinations.
