oh, actually the one downside is you will get a slight up and down hop due to reduced spoke tension.
ps- i know real mechanics hate this sort of el-cheapo monkeying around with parts, and for good reason i suppose.

Yes, it was built wrong. Someone said it needed washers. I took it apart today and the spokes and hub are in good shape. I originally wanted to get a light front wheel and a used disc for the track bike, but I found a used wheelset that works.
If I were to reuse the spokes, how close would I have to get to the Araya's ERD?
For example, the IRD Cadence rim is 604mm, and the Araya's is 609mm...would this work?
