Title: Spoke question
Post by: ED209 on November 29, 2013, 09:59 AM

is there enough 'thread' in nipples to accommodate using 186mm spokes on a build that needs 184s  ???

also can anyone point me at the GT Superlace build thread  :angel:

you can use either ed if they are superlaces (36h)  a lot of people seem to think the 48s are called that and there not, piss easy to lace up too, i can lace a set and knock one out by the time you follow that how to on the museum  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:  :coolsmiley:
