    I know this is probably a stupid question but does buying 14mm nipples instead of 12 mean that I have to buy spokes that are 2mm shorter?

    Nope. You still have the same amount of thread, measured from the shoulder.

    DT nipples have extra threads on the longer ones. For 14mm nipples I use a spoke length 1mm shorter and 2mm shorter on 16mm nips.

    Ah, the thread title brought back fond memeories of a Swedish lady I once knew (almost required safety glasses).
