I would not reuse the spokes if you're changing out the hub. Contact Buchanan spoke and wheel in So. Cal. they are the experts.

There are service intervals for checking and tightening your spoke wheels. If you read and understand the manual it is a very easy job to do. I was very suprised as to how rapidly the spokes can become loose especially the rear. It seems the rear spokes loosness is directly related to your right hand.
