spoke length sticky?
« on: October 27, 2009, 08:38 PM »
i have noticed that there are many radsters trying to find correct spoke lengths for builds.
obviously most combos have been worked out successfully.
would a sticky, or thread be possible ???
would this be fraught with disaster? ie some worked out incorrectly,confusion between 3 cross,4 cross etc?
Discuss.

Measure your hub flange width, the diameter of the centre of the spoke holes (down to a millimetre or so), your rim internal diameter, lacing pattern (usually 3-cross works and looks better on 36's, 4-cross for 48's) and use the "dt swiss" spoke length calculator on their website. Round upwards by a mil or so on the length quoted and you won't go far wrong. Has worked for me everytime.

Hit the "anonymous usage" and good luck.
