  1. [font=Arial]Hello,[/font]

    [font=Arial]the spoke length calculator tells me that I should have the following measures:[/font]

    [font=Arial]Rear Wheel [/font]
    [font=Arial]precise le. 282.00mm ri. 280.40mm [/font]
    [font=Arial]rounded (incl. Corrections) le. 282mm ri. 280mm[/font]

    [font=Arial]Front Wheel [/font]
    [font=Arial]precise le. 284.80mm ri. 284.80mm [/font]
    [font=Arial]rounded (incl. Corrections) le. 285mm ri. 285mm[/font]

    [font=Arial]But when looking for them (DT Competition), I only can find 72 spokes box for 284mm. Would I need another length spokes for the rear right? rear left?[/font]

    [font=Arial]thanks🙂 [/font]

  2. if you're off by 0.8 mm you'll be fine. personally I've built wheels with spokes up to 2 mm too long and 1 mm too short with no problems (in all of them the spoke nipply was recessed and therefore not creating a "lump" under the rim strip). depends on your spoke calculator as well - if your ERD is a bit conservative or it rounds in particular ways etc.

    good luck

    Try Sapim Race 14/15 DB Spokes and get a package of 72 spokes with nipples shipped USPS Priority Mail in the USA for a $35 total.
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=011&item=320032634294
    or eBay Item number: 320032634294
    Lengths available include 280, 282, and 284 mm.
    You can combine 3 different lengths in the 72 spoke total.

  4. Wheelbuilder.com has them and you only have to get the number that you need. wheelbuilder.comthumbnail.aspYou round size up to the next even number.
