Spokes and where to get them

[cherrybomb]

I've already got nipples ( :shock: ) I just need spokes so that I can build these lovelies into a pair of wheels.

whats the calculated difference in spoke length? If its only 2mm then don't worry about it.

The only problem with CRC is they sell them in sets of 36.
No problem for a 32H front, but when you need 16 of two different lengths for the back; that's a lot of spares! :shock:

I can't speak from real experience as I haven't ordered any yet, but when I queried this, CRC told me to order 36 but say in the comments box what hub/rim combo I had and what spokes I actually needed and they would send me 18 of one and 18 of the other.

my my cherrybomb, nice rims!

I've got 64 DT Swiss with silver nipples sitting in the garage from an ebay seller who chucked them in with a pair of Mavic 717 rims I bought.

Tenner & free postage to anyone on the forum. Drop me a line if you need me to measure them.

Could you please measure length and let me know if butted. Thanks!
