I’m planning on rebuilding my LB wheel – I’ve never been able to get the dish right as well as the right tension. If I tension it correctly the tyre rubs on the stay. This is making me think I have used slightly the wrong length spokes. I used the quoted ERD but I think it was slightly out (others have said this too lesson learnt not to order spokes before actually measuring the rim)
I rebuilt the front with 2mm longer spokes on one side and it is now perfect.
The rear is built with 286 (which is what the spoke calc said to use) both sides. I have enough spare 288s to replace one side.
If tension etc is the issue should I actually buy 2mm shorter spokes for the drive side to bring it back to dish rather than use the longer spokes on the NDS.
Does this rambling make sense?
Other option is do it properly completely disassemble and measure ERD rather than just spoke swap 16 spokes. That will take me a bit of time.
