I have a set of DT Aerolite 293mm spokes. What is the
acceptable range a given spoke will successfully work for?
Can you go as much as 1mm longer or shorter? More? Less?

You could use them in a left rear asking for 292 as the tension is lower and stretch is less. There is also a little variance of spokes as to how they are measured and how they sit in the hub holes + whether they have the head outside the flange or inside the flange.
My target is to have the ends of the spoke at final tension be within the range of the beginning of the slot, but not past the end of the nipple. That way all the threads are fully engaged and provides the most durability.
