I think that is one of 4 or 5 I used when choosing spokes for my touring bike. I wanted to make sure I was correct since it was the first time I had done handbuilt wheels for myself.

2mm is not much so I might as well remember that for when I buy my spokes or cut my spokes.

Any views on Phil Wood Spokes?

Gracias!
