Spoke lengths

[IDB1]

Those lengths even on 2x ??

I won't be using the standard brass nipples.. I'll be using the 16mm black brass ones. An electroplated coating sounds a lot more resilient than a Sharpie one

I've pm'd ck about building the rear for me.. never built a wheel before and the prospect of effing it up isn't particularly thrilling . . .

But apparently fronts are normally fairly safe.. which sounds like famous last words but still

I was referring to this for the lengths, but honestly get CK to check them
So if I were to go the 2x route, with (just under) 16mm nips .. I should be cool with 248's for the front and 242, 244 for the rear??
