Spoke Length Play Question
I just ordered a set of Novatec track hubs from Retrogression and want to use them with a set of Salsa Delgado Cross 700c32h that I have. I did a spoke calculation and the spoke lengths came up as:
291.3 - rear
291.8 - front
Can I use a 292 length for both or do I need to use a 291 for the rear and 292 for the front. I don't have enough experience to know how much play is available--Thanks!

It may work although I think you should stick to 291 for the front. Why do you ask? Do you have a mass of 292mm spokes just lying around?

If you bought from Retro why not buy the spokes from there too? Scrod is always helpfull for this kind of problems, he will certainly help you out on the purchase

No, just thought it would be easier to order a box of 72 292's if I could and be done with it. Since I have another wheelset that uses 292's front and rear it would also give me some spares.
and I'll give Retro a call--thanks!
quick edit: just got off the phone with Retro and I'm good--Thanks everyone
