The length is easy enough to measure, you can use a ruler that measures millimetres. Measure from the inside of the J-bend to the very end of the threaded end of the spoke. I just ordered some spare spokes for repair of a 29er hub motor bike and mine were 252 mm long. As for the gauge they are likely 13 gauge, which are 2.3 mm. You'll need a digital or dial caliper or a micrometer to measure for sure. A measuring caliper is a very handy thing to have for all manner of bike repairs. I say likely 13g because most hub motor bikes are 13. The outside chance is they are 14g, that's 2.2 mm.When I called they wouldn't tell me. They said they'd mail some but that was a month and a half ago...

Stephen,I just broke my first spoke on my way to work this morning. Do you guys know what size spokes to order?
Thanks,
Stephen
Well, I had just done that about a week prior to posting that. I had a broken spoke, I will not ride a wheel with a broken spoke. To repair a broken spoke and true the wheel properly in a truing stand, you remove the wheel and tire. I did that, then measured and called shops for the spokes. Next day did the repair. Total repair and truing time about 40 minutes.I don't know about that...
You're right, it's "easy" but I would not want to take off my rim, tire, take off a spoke, measure it, re-install it, and re-true the rim again.
This sounds like a little too much work just to find out a length of spoke.
I also have 27.5 tires. Cannot find these spokes anywhere. Im up in Calgary Alberta. Does anyone know where locally or online i can buy Moscow spokes?I just broke my first spoke on my way to work this morning. Do you guys know what size spokes to order?

Now your talking my language![]()
It's weird how these things seem to vary so much between people's bikes - my brake discs on my NCM Moscow in Australia are definitely held on with Torx bolts not allen bolts.you or the bike shop will need to remove the disc brake to change the spokes. the Bolts they use are allen key bolts and they're really hard to take out and will strip easily. That's why it's better to use torx screws, but they went for cheaper in the assembly. I had to use extractor bits and drill the disc and the bolts with a dremel to take them out with a big flat head screwdriver. Real Hassle, wish they used torx screws...
