oh okay, i will use that as a fall back. sounds kind of like a pain....i like to do things myself. i have about 3 calculators i use to confirm they're all spitting out the same numbers. i am sure they are using the same formula, but i have found differences.
the Spoke Calcs i have been using don't seem to offer less common lace patterns so that is why i was wondering about calculating the previously mentioned pattern.
i am not near any dealers, so if i am off by 1mm or whatever and its not going to work, it means a trip to the freaking post office and another delay...
