I'm looking to lace up some Normandy HF hubs with a 5 sp. freewheel, for an early 70's Peugeot, to a set of Mavic ModE2 700c clincher rims. Using a couple online spoke calculators, I get 293.3mm for the front and 293.9mm non-drive side rear, and 292.1mm drive side rear.

would a 292/293 mix like this http://tinyurl.com/ylohxun , ebay #110445414676 work for this wheel build? or do i need to get 294's?

thanks.
