[QUIST]

Is there a standard size for spokes on 700 x25 or 700 X 32 touring wheels?

I susect the answer may be no

Thanks in advance

Afraid not, plenty of online spoke length calculators however, though they in turn require detailed hub/rim measurements.

When touring I just carry 2 or 3 spokes that I've worked out are close enough, and a block extractor (spokes always break block side on the rear)

Measuring along a spoke between the spoke head and the inside face of the rim will get you close enough for buying a suitable spare spoke.
For new build, there are spoke calculators that have databases on hub and rim measurements so getting an answer is a case of selecting the correct hub & rim, entering the number of spokes and number of crosses, and pressing the button

If all you want is a replacement spoke, take out the broken one and measure it. If you want a spare or two, Andrew's idea is ok.

If you want to build a wheel, I reckon it's best to buy your hubs and rims, and then measure them yourself. Rims vary from batch to batch so even if your rim is listed on a website, the measurements may not be correct.

When you have your measurements, input them into an online spoke calculator.

These are just two of them.

does 'width' not mean 'gauge' rather than length?

answer's still 'no' though!
