Wheel build

[Luke26mhz]

Afternoon all,

I've currently got a wheel build on the go at my LBS.

But I'm having a problem.

I want white spokes to match my rims.

I have 26" white halo SAS rims with rear hope xc hub & I have a hope xc hub at the front or a hope bulb.

The builder has said I need 263 mm spokes for the rear.

The only white spokes I can find though are from halo & they only make a mm either side of what I need, so 262 or 264.

Could I get away with a mm difference or is there another manufacture out there that makes white spokes?

Re:

Your builder should know that answer,

but depending on how he measures, yes you can 2mm even steps are the common ones.
The depending is on which way you go, the builder should know that.

Re:

But assuing this is your rim
http://www.halowheels.com/products/part/RMHAS68X

SO rim has an ERD of 538mm

32hole 3x gives 260mm length on thenrwae for HopeXC hubs.

Unless these are 28 hole or some

Sorry I should of stated that. They are 32H.

I know my wheel builder will know the answers, but I've not spoke to him since he gave me the measurements.

Was just seeing what options I had that's all.

1mm out is nothing to worry about.
