After 9 weeks I have given up waiting for Sapim race spokes to arrive from spokesfromryan.
I am thinking of trying the Pillar PSR TB 2018 spokes from Dirtworks. I am after advice on spoke lengths and nipples. With spokesfromryan I was able to order spokes in 1mm increments, with the spokes from Dirtworks they will be in 2mm increments.
I have a DT Swiss XM481 29" front rim, EX 511 29" rear rim, 350 DBCL Boost front hub and a 350 DBIS Boost rear hub. All are 32 spoke.
The DT Swiss spoke calculator gives the spoke lengths as 292.8mm and 294.2mm for the front, 291.6mm and 291.2mm for the rear.
The Wheelpro spoke calculator gives the spoke lengths as 292.2mm and 293.8mm for the front, 291.3mm and 290.6mm for the rear.
Would 292mm and 294mm spokes be ok for the front and 292mm for both sides at the rear?
How does the head profile of the Pillar standard brass 12mm 14G nipples from http://www.dirtworksb2b.com.au/nipples-brass~62376 compare with DT Swiss Squorx or Sapim Polyax nipples?
I found brass 12mm Sapim Polyax nipples on Ebay, but at $45.99 for 100 they are expensive.
