State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 Spoke Lengths: Preserve Front, Rear and Wheel-Build Scope
State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 spoke lengths are listed as 296mm front and 294mm rear in the dated specification PDF. Those numbers belong to a particular wheel-build record, alongside 14G spokes and a three-cross pattern. Preserve that scope instead of using either length as a universal replacement order.
Read the State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 spoke lengths by position
The detailed spoke section gives 296mm for the front and 294mm for the rear. A note containing only “Road v2 spokes, 296” would lose the rear entry and the unit. Keep the position, length and source together when explaining which documented wheel is under discussion.
The same section says 14G and three-cross pattern. Those are additional build descriptors, not alternative ways to state spoke length. Record them in their own fields. The PDF does not split the printed length entries into separate left- and right-side columns, so this guide does not invent additional lengths for those positions.
Keep the rim record with the spoke record
The wheel entry describes a 700c aluminum wheelset, double-wall 27mm height, 32H x 14G. Retain the rim and hole-count details with a spoke enquiry. A familiar 700c label alone does not demonstrate that another rim, hub or completed wheel reproduces the documented assembly.
The existing Black & Tan Road v2 listing gives this factory-record enquiry a specific bicycle identity. It does not prove that a used or modified example still has the same wheels. The catalogue listing is State Bicycle Co. 4130 Road v2 - Black & Tan - (8-Speed).
A published length is not a complete wheel-build recipe
First distinguish replacing a component in the documented wheel from discussing a rebuild with different parts. If the actual rim or hub differs, explain that difference instead of assuming the published lengths remain appropriate. The cited specification is useful identification evidence, but it is not an assessment of every possible replacement combination.
No spoke-tension target, build procedure or inspection result is supplied here. Those gaps should remain unresolved until the actual components and intended work have been identified. A dimension copied accurately from a table can still answer the wrong question when its original wheel has been changed.
The historical Contender photograph has owner-custom wheels according to its source. It therefore cannot verify Road v2 spoke length, lacing or the factory wheel record. The manufacturer PDF, rather than that image, supplies the front and rear entries above.
The existing State introduction explains the wider brand context alongside this wheel-specific reference. State Bicycle Co. topic; existing State introduction.
FAQ
Are the listed front and rear lengths identical?
No. The PDF gives 296mm front and 294mm rear.
Does 14G state the spoke length?
No. It is a separate descriptor in the spoke record.
Can the numbers approve any replacement rim?
No. A different build needs its actual component match checked.
