1 Replacement Araya Rear Wheel Spokes
Trying to repair a ~40yo GT Talera MTB. Not sure which components are original.
Pardon my inability to speak "bike". Wasn't planning on another "hobby".
Wheel says "Araya Japan 26x1.50 HE VP-20".
rear wheel, 2 spokes broken (both "heads" missing), 1 inside and 1 outside spoke (so different lengths). Don't have correct measuring tool for J-bend length measurement. Web says 260 mm and 262 mm.
1. I can find 260 mm on amazon.
2. I CAN'T find any 262 mm??? Do I have correct lengths?
3. Any specific tools I should add to cart when somebody solves the 262 problem and I can buy something? I haven't looked too hard at the spoke install yet.
Это хороший вопрос?

Once you find the proper spokes you will want a spoke wrench and a truing stand (the truing stand can be homemade). Here is a guide on how to true a wheel How to True Bicycle wheels

Always getting sidetracked...
Just realized the measuring tool I was about to buy, won't work because to measure, the j-bend spoke "hangs" by the "head", which is the broken/missing part.
