Am I right in thinking even if you buy the wrong size you can alter the lacing to suit? So since he's bought 194s he can do a 4x rather than a 3? I don't have the rims and hubs in my posession yet to measure anything am I as well waiting or can I buy spokes now so I'm ready and if so what do I need to use to calculate what I need? I'm with you man this is much more confusing than I thought :idiot2:

Not always, as hub sizes (and number of spokes per wheel) vary, which changes everything. I have been building wheels for a number of years now and believe me that the lacing is simple compared to using the correct size spokes. To calculate the correct size you need a spoke calculator software program, a decent set of digital calipers and knowledge of what measurements to take. You also need to work out early what kind of lacing you want (radial, 2x, 3x, 4x, racelace etc).
