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.

回答此问题我也有这个问题

这是一个好问题吗？

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 如何校准自行车轮圈

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.

remove a good spoke from the wheel and use a standard metric ruler. Hook the inside of the spoke's elbow (bend) at the zero mark of the ruler, and measure straight down to the very end of the threaded tip. The go to universal cycles or modern bike and search

I hadn't figured out how to get the one side out since the head of the spoke is behind the gears.The other side, yes I can pull a good one, but was hoping to keep the dis/assembly minimal. I finally found the other spoke and both are expected soon.
