My Dt EX5.1D has a flat spot and needs replacing. It's laced to a hope pro 2 (factory built hope hoops)
I am thinking a stans flow.
Can I do a straight swap and use the existing spokes?
I don't know nuffink about calculating spoke lengths etc, but I have swapped like for like rims over before.
Cheers
I think the DT Swiss spoke calculator will have all the rims and hubs in it to work the spoke lengths out. If not you need the ERD (effective rim diameter) of both rims. Either use them in the spoke calculator again, or if both rims are the same, just get on with it!
ERDs should be on the relevant websites.
Personally, if it's only 1mm difference, I think you'll still be fine.
You'll need to find out the ERD for both rims(check manufacturers websites), if they're within a mm or so of each other then you should be ok, you may get away with more, but I wouldn't recommend it personally.
Is there an echo in here?

Must be,that wasn't there when I pressed "send".
Hehe! I'm normally the one who's lagging behind by a few seconds, I must be ON FIRE tonight 😉
Great minds think alike eh? 😀
