The DT site does not list Campy Record HF track hubs (old style). I'm using MA2 rims. Without going through measuring the hub centers & diameters, is there another calculator elsewhere where these hubs are listed? Thanks...

Why can't you just measure? I know it's not totally accurate, but it usually comes up with a decimal spoke length anyway, and who makes 300.4mm spokes?

It should take you less than 5 minutes to measure the hub dimensions. Then just plug them into the DT calculator program on their site and presto chango you have spoke lengths.
