don't think you  kneed curved ones for zeds? been some time since i had any,    just use an repair washer (m3 , m4 maybe?)  that fits on the nip , same size as flat bit round the spoke hole if you can ,  you only kneed em if your actually going to abuse the zeds either by accident or on purpose stops the spokes pulling through, also allows you put a lot more tension on the spokes when your truing em up like you can with alloys . Carpet Queen you'll not kneed em if your riding em then use some  :daumenhoch:  



BOING!!!!!     :LolLolLolLol:
