Although I haven't started yet, the video tutorials for spokes and wheel-trueing look pretty informative. There is one sticking point for me - spoke length.
Since installed spokes are bent already, I'm guessing that when I remove one of the good ones to measure it, I must take into account the bend where the nipple enters the hub? How exact must the measurement be? To the millimeter? Will it be possible to buy a single spoke online, or should I get one from a local shop?
Thanks
