This has probably been posted before, but since there are so many questions on spoke length, here we go again:

If you do many wheels at all, get the WheelSmith rim stick, it makes getting accurate rim dia. easy. The DT wall chart is also a good buy. It is how I figure all my spoke lengths. You never have to worry about your stuff not being "on the list"

Rev,

can anyone get the wheelsmith rim stick or is it just
for industry types?

I'm going to sticky the DT link so folks don't have to go searching
for it, thanks Don.

Yes, Quality carries them and just about everyone orders from Quality. If you get the Dt chart it comes with a measuring gadget(Looks like two long nipples, and you stick them in the rim and hold it up to the chart) that works OK. I just like the stick better. If you decide to get the DT setup I would give it a try first before getting the Wheelsmith stick.
P.S. The whole DT setup is around $70, includes a cheap set of calipers for getting drilling dia. The Stick is $50 by itself.
