good point man - i think i might pick up that wheel though - then take the current rear - and try a rebuild! sounds like a plan no? what can i lose but a couple bucks but i think i might suprise myself and do a decent job with this - i really should have a true stand for this though and i dont yet

if i use the same spoke pattern and follow Sheldon's guide i should be good - as far as spoke measurement and type - i have some wiggle room right - like for instance if i use the same pattern i can just measure what size would work - 295mm look right and that is the replacement size i have been using - but i noticed that the spoke sizes in the wheel seem all over the place - maybe the previous owner(s) have done some spoke repairs themselves over the years

as far as spoke type - any recs - dont wanna break the bank but what would you guys use -

i just ordered some DT swiss -
