wheel building

[batch4]

I,m building a complete wooden bike and the rims are done. I,m looking for some 25mm nipples for the spokes as the rims are deep. does anyone know where I can get these from. All the standard sizes are too small.. This is the only part of the build that is holding me up now.

Are you looking for wooden ones?

Have you got washers to spread the load?

got the washers. just need the long nipples to reach far enough through wood rims. I could drill deeper into rims so standard nipples reach, but that is reducing the strength which I would rather not do.
