Royal Blue Rit. Got them off ebay, and used 5 packets to do these 2 rims. Took about 3 hours in total. I previously tried it using Dylon madonna blue dye, but it was a failure.

I'm going to have a go at dying a set of acorns baby blue and I was going to use dylon madonna blue. Have you got any pictures of how it went?

I used 192mm spokes in a 3 cross pattern, but they were slightly too long on one wheel. 190's might be better. I bought rhe spokes and nipples on ebay from a seller based in Taiwan. Here's the listing for the spokes

and the nipples

Basically, just contact them using the contact seller option and tell them how many spokes and nipples you need, and what length. They make the spokes to whatever length you want, and you can order how ever many you need. The same with the nipples. Ask for a price, and they will send you a paypal invoice. Postage was about £3, and they arrived in under a week. Excellent service, and I would recommend them
