I just built a hybrid crow's foot this afternoon. Phil Wood front hub on a Mavic CXP33. I used radial and 2-cross lengths. A drop of linseed oil on the threads. It's a rebuild from a previously pringled rim.
Just use spocalc to work out the lengths or edd, ehren fried chicken's online web app. The radial length may be referred to as zero cross. And you'll need 2-cross too.
Cyclebasket do black spokes singly at only 29p each. The thing with black spokes when ordering them yourself is that online bike shops tend to do only a small range of lengths. So you may not be able to find the one that you are looking for.
Make sure that the radial spoke is on top of the other two that cross.
Have fun.
cool, thanks for your help, was looking at spocalc but had no idea how to input the lacing style will give it a go now, hopefully the spoke lengths aren't too odd to get black ones....
