Use 281.00 on the rear...and use 14mm nipples if you can to avoid scratching the rim - especially at the joint.

Use 271.00 for the front....and once again use 14mm nipples if you can.

This will result in the ends of the spokes coming right up to or just a tad below the screwdriver flat except at the joint...

If you go 12mm nipples...that'll work...but be careful with the bottom of the spoke wrench or scratches will occur on the rim finish.

You may end up with 1-2 threads showing at the joint nipples if using 12mm - but does no harm function-wise for the wheel.

Whatever you do, do not go higher than 272 and 282.

Good Luck!
