cheers dude. will give him a knock. on the dt spoke calculator it also enquire's about flange distance (he he).

wot wot!!!

dt calculator gave me this:

Spoke length
precise le. 259.50 mm ri. 262.30 mm

rounded
(incl. Corrections) le. 258 mm ri. 261 mm

I'd go for 260 and 262 to be safe. Will need about 1/2-1 turn to dish it properly i'd guess!

thats good enough for me. cheers gents. will order tonight. p.s i reckon the SIDI forks will look better on the bike.
