tubular to clincher rims.

I have some tubular wheels and may switch them to clinchers. Anyone know a simple way to determine which/if rims will work without replacing all the spokes? I can do either, but switching across is so easy.

"spokcalc.xls" has a fairly extensive database of rims. You could dig through that to find a rim with matching ERD.

aside from ERD, matching spoke hole counts.

I suppose if the spokes are short by 1 or 2mm, you can use 14 or 16mm nipples to compensate
