another spoke question
one on right came of Kelsey Hayes 16"rim I bought. One on the left was sold to me as oem, but about 15 of the 40 were like the right spoke. Notice that the two size stepdowns don't line up. The threaded ends match up perfectly. Which is correct?

Re: another spoke question
The big od is about 1.250" on original spokes, longer on reproduction.

Re: another spoke question
do you measure from the inside of the 90 degree bend or the outside(very end/backside)?

Re: another spoke question
1.250" from large od start to far side of bend, measured on bike, I may be off a few thousandths.

Re: another spoke question
Yeah, I got a little over 1.200" on the spokes like the one on the right(varied a little). got a little over 1.000" on the spokes like the left. so about a .2 difference. Im thinking the 1.2xx" spokes are correct. Looks like I need to find some more spokes.
Anyone out there got any usable extras or some they're not going to use?
And thanks panman for all your help. This site just keeps on giving.

Re: another spoke question
The nipples with the spokes in your 2nd link look like the ones on left of my picture in my nipple thread.
