Okay, so over xmas im sorting some new wheels out, spec as follows -
Rims - Stans ZTR Flow Ex 650b
Front Hub - Hope 15mm Pro 2 Evo (32 Hole)
Rear Hub - Hope 142x12 Pro 2 Evo (32 Hole)
Spokes - DT Swiss Competition Black (3 Cross Pattern)
The problem im having is when i go onto a spoke calculator, the sizes confuse me as it says for the front -
Drive Side - 274.1mm
Non-Drive Side - 272.1mm
And for the rear -
Drive Side - 272.9mm
Non-Drive Side - 272.9mm
What confuses me is that the spokes only come in even number length, im guessing that for the 272.1mm & 272.9mm Spokes i should order the 272mm spokes? As being an engineer by trade i know that 0.8mm can be enough to make a difference or am i over thinking this?
To me i think i need to order 48 spokes at 272mm & 16 Spokes at 274mm - am i right with this?
Hope i don't confuse anyone like ive confused my self
