28"(700C) Yosepower hub motor spokes

[bikerbob21]

Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to buy some spokes for a 28"(700C) Yosepower rear hub motor?

Here's the link to the actual kit. It looks like 13G spokes are the suitable ones and from measuring them they look like they are around 245mm in length. A few of mine have fallen off from the back hub motor wheel. Had a brief browse through Aliexpress and they have a few options there but wanted to check here with the experts first. Any feedback is appreciated.

The wheel needs rebuilding properly, it is best to use 14g spokes which have more give in them and should not snap so readily. 13g built wheels tend to be very patchy when it comes to breaking spokes.
Unless someone can give a definitive answer remove a good spoke and measure it properly from the threaded end to the inside of the bend and add +1mm.

Hi, I built a 29/700C rim onto a Yose hub, lesson learned for me are the spokes are different lengths on different sides (the drive side is shorter than the non-drive side).

The length you need will depend on the rim diameter, which will be different to mine.

Recommend me a new 700C rear wheel ( or rebuild 26" hub?)

Hi everyone, I'm looking at options to change my 26" kit to 700C/28" and wonder if anyone knows of any suppliers who have sales on now? Any recommendations for a particular hub to look for? rpm? I weigh near 100kg, most use is on B-road and I'd prefer a high cruising speed to high torque. The...
