    I have a wheel that the rim has died on me. I want to rebuild the wheel with the same home (fixie) on a new rim. How can I best calculate the required spoke length?

    I've used this spoke length calculator before.
    You'll need to look up or (carefully) measure your own hub and rim dimentions though...

    If you can manage to get the same rim as the original you don't really need new spokes, just do a rim swap!

    Cheers. Now I know how to measure a spoke!

    However I think I should have asked how to figure out the measurements of my hub :)
