Hi group,
Trying to build a suitable wheel for a 1947 British bike, I'm looking for 15/17 gauge spokes - but the best I could find is DT Revolution wich are 14/17g. Could anybody point me to an online source of 15/17g spokes? Do such spokes currently exist at all?
Failing that, would I be better off using 14/17 (such as DT Swiss Revolution) or 15/16 DT Competition? (One point in favor of 15/16 is the nipples' diameter which I assume would be smaller - regular nipples for 14g spokes fit too tightly into the holes in muy Constrictor rim, a looser fit would work better it seems.)
