After a bit of help, as a first timer here and want to make sure I get this right, for obvious reasons.
I'm looking to build up some DT Swiss 240's onto some Stan's Arch rims with some DT Comp DB spokes.
I've grabbed the ERD off the Stan's site, and plugged the info into the DT Swiss spoke calculator, and it came out with the following.
Front 260mm & 261mm, rear 261mm & 261mm. Now first question is where to buy spokes? CRC do them I noticed, but they state its with a 14mm nipple. Now if I adjust the DT calculator to compensate I get; front 258 & 260, rear 260 & 260.
My question is, for the sake of convenience, as CRC sell them in bunches of 36, what are the chances of me being lucky to get away with 72 spokes at 260, and running a longer spoke? My concern is obviously running out of thread before I have tensioned the wheel accordingly. Is 2mm too big a difference?
Finally, looking on the Spoke Calculator, it lists a L&R side to the wheel. Does the left relate to the disk side & the right the drive?
Sorry, lots of questions!
