I was told a long time ago the Campy hubs (and that meant NR and Tipo then) were made to use 15 Ga spokes. Of course we (and I personally) laced them with 14Ga spokes many times with no issues. But this story does explain the greater bowing out of a just installed 14 Ga spoke with these hubs. I bend in the the spoke tighter against the flange after the initial lace up. Done this, maybe, hundreds of times over the years. Andy
