Hmm, well, I ORDERED 14-gauge spokes and nipples. I've been assuming that that's what I was sent. I don't see any markings on either the spokes or the nipples, but I can say that until the moment of failure, the nipples seem to thread on correctly with no sign of the slop I'd expect if there was a threading incompatibility. Any ideas on how to check this for certain.
To answer another question, it's a 36-hole rim. I went with four-cross because I'm using a hub that had been previously built up in a four-cross pattern.
