Just dye'd a white set red using RIT dye
Keep the solution warm and keep checking every 5 mins for depth of colour....or as your doing them black just leave them as long as you want
Try and keep the solution warm I use my fishing camping stove (the type that uses a gas bottle) this type of thing

and a large metal pan/container (I got a metal drum from work and cut it in half) don't boil the stuff just keep it warm
Spoke lenght: 182 for High Flange Hubs and I think....192mm for standard

I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts
