Hi,
My LBS has just replaced a DT swiss 4.2 rim (cracked) with a mavic xc717 using the original spokes. However I have noticed that there is swarf where the nipples screw onto the spokes.
Should they have used spokes of a different length?
Cheers
Take off your rim tape, and have a look if the spokes are sticking through the nipples, or are buried down inside. they should be about flush.
Thanks leebaxter.
Running the wheel tubeless - so not something i'll do now - but next time I'm replacing the tyre I'll have a look.
Was just wondering whether somebody on here had a chart that would show whether the same spokes can be used for both rims.
Cheers

I will when I can understand German... but thanks anyway.

I've just had a look and it seems like there may be a mm or so in it, but it also depends on the hub.
Thanks Dibbs,
Yes, should have said, this is on a CK iso disc rear.
My concern is that the correct tension may not have been achieved, as the wheel developed a "wiggle" on the first ride.....
