Or use DT spokes and nipples... these won't scratch the rim as the square section is shorter.
I use 290 for the front... I have even used 291 occasionally -
Thanks for that - I've only just seen your reply - I've another question (if you don't mind)
Pumping the numbers in to the spoke calcs, I get
Sapim; F 291, R NDS 291, R DS 289
DT Swiss; F 290, R NDS 290, R DS 288Whereas your spoke lengths are a bit shorter; F 289, R NDS 289 , R DS 288
Is that because the Laser spokes stretch more, being 1.5mm?
thanks

Steve erd is 593mm, 592 is on the short side but will still give the same results.
Front laser 289mm rear ds race 288mm rear nds laser 289mm. 12mm nipples work but you have to careful or you might scratch the rim. Sapim spokes come with 12mm nipples so just be careful and tension with a 4 sided nipple key as you cant let the tool sit against rim.
