186mm spokes used by Gary with 16MM NIPPLES  =  202mm overall length

192mm spokes with 10mm nipples  =  202mm overall length

It's not just the spokes that play a role in a wheel build, it's the nipple length you choose too.

You will also note that, dependent on nipple to spoke to size, your spoke will engage the nipple at different depths when you have finished true-ing the wheel.

Had Gary used 10mm nipples when building this wheel, he would have a problem when coming to ride it  :daumenhoch:
