Howdy folks.

I have a set of wheels that will eventually go on the Silk Hope I bought through Dale last year. The chain has been in the spokes and the overall tension seems pretty uneven so I am going to detension, replace the outer rear drive side spokes and retension/true. Based on a quick Google I think the rims are Nisi-Evian (don't have them available right now). Hubs are Campy Record high flange. Checking spocalc (I use it for all my wheelbuilding), it looks like all the Nisi tubulars listed have an ERD of 617 or 618 so I'm pretty confident that mine would be right in there (since they look like generic low profile box section tubulars). Either ERD gives me a spoke length of 293. I don't really want to pull the tire off, detension the wheel and take out a spoke to measure it. Does that sound about right? Thanks :^)

P.S. Any good source for user hoods other than the ones on ebay? The typical $25 shipped price there is my max for these...
