1 mm Difference for left/right spoke.. Is it necessary?
Fellas..
Yet another spoke thread. Sorry.
I've worked out my wheel to require 263 mm right, 264 mm left.
Do I really need 2 different lengths? Will 1 mm really make a huge difference?
I'm going to be using DT Swiss Alpine IIIs, and my problem is that I need to buy these spokes by the box. The LBS doesn't stock these, and won't split the box(es) for me. I'm ok with buying 1, but 2 may be a little much.
In case anyone needs to know.
Hub: Shimano fh-m475
wL = 34.5
wR = 20.5
flange diameter (center-to-center of opposing spoke holes) = 60 mm (left/right flange the same)
Spoke hole diameter = 2.7 mm
3 cross pattern
Rim: Rhyno Lite
ERD = 548
I've asked this question before, and have had 2 replies, both conflicting.
Please let me know. I'm about to make the spoke purchase, and I'm sweating a little.
