i got 282 spokes and i unsucessfully tried to build a wheel tonight. i wasnt exactly sure what i was doing, the book by park tools which i used was kinda confusing. the big problem was that when everything seemed to have been done, all the crossing spokes on the right side were WAAYYYYY tooo long- i say that modestly too. did i get the wrong sized spokes? should i have gotten 280's or is it possible that i just built the wheel wrong? thanks a bunch
