Buchanan's Spoke and Wheel in California can fix you up with the correct spokes, and a rim with the holes punched at the correct angle.

I don't know how expensive it will be to ship the parts to Finland!

I used Woody's Wheel Works in Colorado. Might as well do their tubeless conversion while you are at it. Nice to never have to buy tubes again, and the tires can be plugged if/when you get a flat.
they've done a few wheels for me.

As long as the hub and the rim are both 36 spoke, you're all set. Nothing strange about the pattern. Search on my name for my DRZ Tracker thread in the Cafe and you will find a how-to on wheel lacing and truing embedded in there.

Good point Dave. I think Buchanan's can provide a rim with the nipple holes at the correct angle. At a charge, of course.

Good information, thanks. Old DR's have drum brakes, so no problem there.

One of the things you need to be aware of - is that modern dual sport tires seem to require a pretty wide rim.  Even a narrow 120/90-17 tire needs a rim not less than 2.50" wide.

Be sure the tires you are looking for will fit on the rim you buy.

I have just had a front wheel 19 x 2.50 ( including tyre ) built onto my hub, ss spokes and ally rim, and a rear wheel built from my rear hub with a 16"x 3.00 by Central Wheel Components in the UK and they did a really good job - bloody expensive mind but that was ss spokes, chrome plated brass nipples, ally rim,new tyre,blasting and powder coating both hubs and they built them and balanced them , so if you just wanted spokes and the rim they could probably do that. If I was you I'd give them a ring ( I hope you can speak English cos I'm pretty confident none of them speak Finnish ) Although them being from Birmingham they speak a strange variation of English  . If you want to p.m. me I'll sort out their phone number.
