If using brass nipples, the spoke length can be slightly out. If spokes are too short in an alloy nipple, the head may fracture at the shoulder.

I would be comfortable going with 266mm spokes throughout. Are you using brass nipples? If you are using the 15g spokes that you mentioned in another post, they will tend to wind up as they are tensioned. Make sure to lubricate the spoke threads before building and destress the wheel as you go...

"micro crack less than 10cm long" 👍 Throw in that rusty Bedford van and I'll marry her, sir.

Using the calculator and stored geometry values at https://leonard.io/edd/ gives the following lengths for 32h 3 cross (below). I would advise yout to verify the rim ERD at 548mm before ordering spokes. This calculator has been pretty accurate for me. If anything, I would round down any decimal...

That saddle. Like getting rodgered by a donkey muzzle 😳

I just finished rebuilding my old Polygon Metro. I was able to stifle the urge to put drop bars back on, but my resolve not to add gratuitous titanium bits lasted 2 metric seconds. I have 7 of 9 speeds on this modified 112mm rear hub. Wheels are 305. I still need to fold it up for the money shot.
