okay. i believe it's all gelling, now. according to the mtbr thread i linked, i can do this. 301mm spokes all around and use 14mm brass nipples from DT swiss (cheap) where the 303mm spokes were used as they do have more threads. use the 12mm nipples that come with the spokes elsewhere and file down the 1mm where too long

again, though, will 14g spokes work instead of 13g? will i need to use spacers?
