A utility I wrote to calculate gage size from the SAE or metric spoke diameter, or the reverse. Download/run the installer file (preferably to the default folder) and enjoy.

Note that when you enter a spoke diameter and calculate the spoke gage size, the utility rounds to the nearest whole gage size - this could be either up, or down.

Whatever spoke/nipple is handy from whatever donor bike has the misfortune of finding it's way into my shop is the guage i typically use ;-p

i got one of those spoke cutter things - it was like 100 bucks, but i just cut spokes to length, thread 'em and put em in.

and i put the unit in my vise, pulled the handle off the cutter dealy, and chucked it up in my drill.

i plan to add some spokes to a tiny kiddy bike wheel i have on one project. just plan to eyeball, center punch and drill

small wheel == more torque + less spokes+ fat guy = busted spokes .
