Probably best to use new spokes, and they'll probably be a different length too

wheelpro have a spoke length calculator. Roger is also selling a set of handbuilt dt wheels if anyone's interested.

Not a clue, put your info into these and see what you get:

Or you could email hope and see what they use on the "hope hoops" wheels

Just compare the effective rim diameter of the two rims. Anything up to a couple of mm might be worth a try with the existing spokes
