spoke size

[ED209]

lacing Araya 48s to Peregrine semi pros ... with a twist ( in the spoke )

thought 187s would be close enough put they are miles out ... looking at getting 183s?

what do we think

i've done this before and just used the correct size spoke for building it up normal, i dont think you need longer ones just because it has a twist in it.  the best way i found to do it is build the wheel as normal leaving all the spokes loose then go around it removing 2 spoke nipples and twisting the spokes then replacing the nipples.

Stop making gay wheels

Just measured the ones that i bought from Mark @ Retrospect and theyre coming in at 182mm.  Im pretty sure that when i bought them he listed them as 186mm?? 

Hopefully they'll be ok for a twisty build when i finally manage to get the right bits

cheers John ... the build is not a probelm... I'm well practised as I keep getting the wrong size!

Gav - I reckon an actual length of 182 would be spot on - I'm going for 183 and seeing how it comes out.

Will keep you informed.

Ben - your Yoda-esque advice is always refreshing
