Probably gonna get shot down by the wheel gods for asking a stupid question but here goes.
I'd like to have a go at rebuilding my rear wheel into a new hub. I have a 105 hub but need something that can take a Campagnolo cassette, so probably a Bitex RAF12.
Granted, I've only used one calculator, but hypothetically speaking, if my current spoke length is:
NDS: 291.2mm
DS: 289.2mm
What are the chances I can reuse these spokes if the Bitex hub spat out these spoke lengths:
NDS: 292.1mm
DS: 288.3mm
Less than 1mm of difference between them on both NDS and DS. Reusing spokes should be okay in this instance I think. The wheels didn't have many miles on them prior to me moving to Campag from Shimano.
Though I guess the spoke measurements I should really be taking are of the spokes I have in the wheel in real life....
