I have reused spokes only on the customers request. I have never been in a situation where "I had to" reuse spokes. The few times I haven't used new I carefully inspected the old spokes.
Always new nipples. No exceptions for me on that. TheMontashu Pourly Tatteued Jeu. Mar 15, 5, 0 I'm homeless. I generaly as a rule don't reuse speokes. Although on my race wheels I did reuse my spokes being that sapims are insainly priced. Strangly enough the rear wheel that I built on reused spokes is holding up better than front wheel that my boss built me.

Nipples, especially aluminum, definatley replace. We have a phil wood spoke machine so we always have the option of replacing them and not having to order bizarre lengths, so I reccomend it.
Plus, its fun to use. I've also rebuilt trials rims in hotel rooms at Sea Otter the day of the 'race' I don't always have the luxury of ordering next-day delivery from Pace-Line or Riteway [if they even exist anymore Jan 18, 8 SouthEastern Massachusetts.
That said, I've laced up a few of my own wheels with used spokes. For me, this method only works when I know the history of said used spokes, and the kinda use said "new" wheel will see Rip Mr. Feb 3, 7, 1 Over there somewhere. New wheel, new hub, new spokes.

This is the diameter where the spoke ends will sit in a well-built wheel. Now what? You will also need measurements off the hub and decision on the spoke lacing pattern, but that will be reviewed here at a future date.
Understand the ERD will help if you need to rebuild your wheel but want to reuse the spokes. Spokes will over time fatigue, so using older spokes in not such a good idea. But assume you just bashed your new wheel on a rock, or drove into the garage with the new bike on the roof rack. The rim is bent and trashed but the spokes are probably just fine. If you find a rim with the same drilling and same ERD, even a different brand, it will work.
The concept of ERD is useful for quick and accurate estimates on length when fixing a wheel with broken spokes. Measure another spoke on the same side as the broken one. Use the RR, and hold the tape end at the nipple end figure 8. Read the other end of the tape measure at the hub. Read to the edge of the spoke head, as this is close to the spoke J-bend inside the hub flange figure 9.
Now inspect the nipple. There are two common type, 12mm and 16mm. For the shorter 12 nipples, add only 10mm to your tape measurement. In the example in Figure 9, add 10mm to the mm for a spoke length of mm. If the wheel uses the medium length nipples of 16mm, add 15mm to the reading at the hub. Trade Resources. Figure 4. Insert threaded spoke end into rim hole and thread on nipple. Figure 5a. Spoke is not threaded enough into the nipple.
