144 spoke rims have two different size spokes. they are close but different. I havent reallt messed around with them so I cant offer any advice.

144 have 2 different sizes like was said. I believe they are like 6 1/2" and 6 5/8". Not to sure though without haveing the wheel spoke in front of me.

yes on 144's there are 2 sizes.. cause wen u look at the hub u see the 2 diferent lines of the bases of the spoke so they hav to b longer

--> l llllll l <-- with spokes from a 68 spoke regular is it possible???

The rims have 2 diffrent sizes.The in the holes on the top of the hub will fit but the ones on the bottom of the hub are too short. :biggrin:

 

[LIL PHX]

I mean the ones in the holes on the top row of the hub will fit but the ones on the bottom will not fit because they are to long :twak:my bad

 

[bad news]

well i have set of 144 and they match the 72s that i have just the top ones or the longer ones
