I'm looking for new spokes for my rear Hope XC and XC717 disc rim.

Currently stuck between 262 and 264. I know I can get away with using just one spoke length on the hub, but I can't remember which. used a couple of calcs, one is telling me closer to 262 (wheelpro), the other is closer to 264.

any experience?

I'd go 264 personally.

longer is better than shorter, a long as the thread doesnt poke through the holes in the rim into the tube (through the rim tape)
and if it does, get busy with a file.

rememeber on disk wheels, the disk side spokes are about 2mm shorter than the non disk side spokes.
