So I'm going to be lacing some EX823's up to some DT Swiss OEM downhill hubs (the ones that come stock on Specialized Demos). I'm fairly certain that I can spec out the appropriate spoke length using the DT Swiss calculator. Is there a specific nipple length that needs to be used with these rims? Also are there any build tricks that I need to be aware of? I figure that you would probably want to loctite the rim inserts and lightly grease the interface where the nipple interfaces with it. Anything else I may be missing or overlooking?
