i agree! but it's down to the LBS with the DT-maybe they have
Wheelsmith's on hand. I tried switching and found the DT on Wheelsmoith spokes gave a loose fit-but this was on 1980"s spokes. |

Hi Gene
Are you sure the old spokes are 2.0mm & not 1.8MM? Just a thought, John |

Because the thread pitch of 1.8mm spokes is the same, the 2mm nipple will fit on them but will strip its threads when the wheel is tightened. This has been done often enough that most who familiar with one-off wheel building have seen it happen. Jobst Brandt |

I became aware of this possibility on page 49 of your book, "Spoke Threads". I wish the spoke manufactures would take your suggestion & make all 1.8mm spokes 0.40mm pitch. All the 1.8mm, I've ever noticed were ~.44mm pitch. Too bad, John |
