    Hi
    I am trying to build a wheel set with some carbon rims. Never done this before.

    So someone on here helped me do the spoke length. So I have two lengths should it be long drive side, or other way around?

    Hope pro hubs if it’s needed

    Thanks in advance

    The person that helped probably used an online spoke calculator; the output from that will have stated which length goes on which side.

    If I were you I’d just get the longer length spokes. It will be fine

    Short on the drive. If it’s your first attempt, maybe put a lick of masking tape around the rim (over the holes and pierce them) if you would hate to go and scratch your new rims.

    If you aren’t bothered about this.. fire away!
