Help rebuilding wheels; need spokes
i'm finding really affordable to me deals on spokes of 300mm length lots on ebay. one auction is enough to build two wheelsets or one twice over. thing is, for this one wheelset, i need 303mm for the front wheel and the non-drive side of the rear, but i need 300mm for the drive side. the current nipples on my wheels are 12mm, so i was wondering if i can get some longer nipples for the front and ND side of the rear so as to use the shorter length and save my myself some money over buying two lengths? i see 14mm nipples also at a really good price. but, what length would i need?
thanks!
