Anyone ever laced a pair or Phat Jacks?

what spoke size did you use?

184mm if my memory is correct, same as normal super pros

You need the correct 12 gauge spokes and nipples which are hard to come by

Think some people have used 14 gauge spokes but they don't look right

... I might just have to use the standard spokes ... I'll see what I can find

The 12 gauge spokes can be found but they are not cheap

Last time me and Dannywhac looked you could get them from Australia but they were around £85

If you use 14 gauge spokes be careful as the hub & rim are drilled for 12 gauge so the spoke head and the nipples could cause damage to hub flange & rim

Edit

Found some for under £50
