Couldn't you be bothered to measure either Carl?!!! Sounds like me with my Bullseye/7X quandary! Still haven't sorted it! Ive found its difficult to get an accurate reading of the flange diameter with just a tape measure...

Measure the Hub with this:

And the rim with a tape  :daumenhoch:
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)
