i need 32 at 291.2 and 32 at 292.4 i can get 290 292 or 294 am i right in thinking that i can just get 64 all at 292 and it will be right. see i said it was stupid ๐Ÿ˜‰ but better save than sorry

290 and 292 will be fine. If you get all 292s there's a chance they will bind. Make sure they all twang evenly!

I assume you have measured your own components for the theoretical lengths, in which case for the 291.2 I'd rather have a spoke 0.8mm too long than a spoke 1.2mm short, although both will build and 0.8 too long will not bind.

btw what do you reckon for using on 287.3 and 288.7 lengths if you dont mind

i presume 288 for the shorter ones but im unsure on the other its either 0.7 short or 1.3mm long im thinking both 288mm

just thinking of going 36 3x on the back instead of 32

thanks in advance

Have you measured your own rim diameter, if not then it's not safe to use rim data from other sources. As for spoke lengths, go within +/- 1mm from the theoretical value.

PP 288 will be fine.
