I am getting ready to build a set of track wheels, using FB hubs & 'Ghisallo' wooden rims. I have built hundreds of wheels over the years, but these will be my first set of "woodies", so I have a couple of questions: 1) About how much longer should the spokes be, than on a metal tubular tim? 2)Are longer nipples nessecary? 3)Spoke tension-higher, lower, or about the same as metal rims? 4)Any special tricks to prepping the rims for tire glue? Any info appreciated!
