Spokes n Nips advice

I need to replace a bunch of spokes on my enduro wheels. I'm completely ignorant when it comes to wheels and hubs and pretty much everything. I figure it should be pretty straight forward to just replace the existing spokes one at a time, but having a hard time figure out sizes and whatnot. Rims are Mavic EN427 27.5 and hubs are F-Type if that's helpful.
 
This should give you an idea of the correct length of the spoke. Fist you need t figure out the rim specs and the hub specs,

Spoke length calculator https://spokes-calculator.dtswiss.com/en/

Rim specs (ERD) https://shop.mavic.com/en-us/en-427-disc-j32800.html#1028=3283&1035=3806&1039=3514

and you have to figure out the hub specs (whatever is requested by the spoke calculator, it also explains what the required measurement is). I could not find anything on f type hubs, regardless you need to know offset, pitch circle left/right, flange offset left/right, spoke diameter and hole offset if straight pull.

Or you can measure one of the older spokes...
 
If you decide to just measure spokes, keep in mind that left and right are most likely going to be different lengths for each wheel. You will probably have 4 different lengths of spokes in total for the wheelset.
 
Awesome. Thanks guys. I’m going to give it a shot... if it doesn’t work out at least spokes are cheap!
