Got some grey low flange macks but would rather them be silver to match the spokes and nipples. Any tips?
Don't lace them radially for a start.
And based on that experience I wouldn't try anything that would remove material from the hubs.

I'm coming up against the same problem. Just noticed they do 100 16mm nipples for £3.50, so figure I'll round down and should still have enough thread engagement with those.
Edit: no I'd have to use 4mm shorter spokes then, duh.

Cyclebasket it is. Although they only come in even lengths. Rounding up 0.1 of a mm after spoke stretch wont kill me right?
Also, anyone ever stripped anodising from hubs? Got some grey low flange macks but would rather them be silver to match the spokes and nipples. Any tips?
