Bit OT, but given the odd wheel size these might be of interest; https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/TYVITTRAN/vittoria-randonneur-wired-tyre
Think they bulk ordered thinking they were all 700c and can’t shift the 20” ones.

Spokes arrived. Spent a couple hours on the wheel build. Used curved nipple washers because I was both afraid of wrong spoke length and angled spokes under load. First ever wheel build from scratch.
Haven’t put it on the bike or trued or anything yet, just tightened all the spokes til they felt plucky kinda tight, like a ‘good’ tension on a known wheel.
