I have a few questions. 650b.
I'm on a budget due to unforeseen circumstances.
So, upon some research it appears I can convert my current hope Pro 2 Evo hubs from 150 to 157 rear spacing by ordering 12x142 spacers for them. Easy enough, so far. http://www.jensonusa.com/!sW6DDOk1uvCI!YbIGhkTVA!/Hope-Pro-2-Evo-Rear-Hub-Conversion-Caps?utm_source=FRGL&utm_medium=organic&gclid=Cj0KEQiAuf2lBRDW07y3z6f96awBEiQA0IngJjWDQwVjwHLPHWLNggZf19lNpAnEhdog02UwfGrwpMYaAqyl8P8HAQ
Those ones right?
Next, wheels. I wanted to go carbon, but that is not likely to happen. Looking into the DT Swiss FR 570's unless someone has a better suggestion.
How do I calculate spoke length? I tried a few spoke calculators, but they didn't have the hubs I have in the drop downs.....
Next. Brass or alloy nipples? Seems alloy is better cause it cost more?
Sorry for all the newb questions, but I've never built a wheelset before.
