So I fucked up on the length of spokes for my flo wheel build. I measured and re-measured the ERD and thought I had everything correct.
I used a reputable calculator and was given the number 277. I order 278 as per advice I received from an expert. I have since laced the wheel (20 hole radial0 and finger tightened each spoke and ended up with a spokes bottoming out prior to getting full tension.
I live in Northern Canada, I do not have access to anyone who sells these spokes, or as far as I know cuts them.
Any ideas?
Maybe add a second nipple washer (They are 14mm so I can do that) but that might not be enough. Perhaps someone knows someone that can cut spokes in Canada. Perhaps Calgary or Edmonton?
P.s Are flo rims drilled in alternate pattern, if so it is hard to tell...
