So order some spokes and need some advice..
I need spokes that are: 281.6mm, 284.2mm & 283mm

I was going to order a big pack Would I be ok to use just 281mm or 283mm or 285mm for all of them?

Thanks!

No. If you could do that, spoke manufacturers wouldn't bother to make spokes in 1mm or 2mm length increments.

Thanks - that makes sense :)

Am one of my spoke lengths is 284.2mm am I better off going with 283mm or 285mm spokes (they're all that are available..)
