What ERD did you use?
I used 605 when I built to WI hubs, and they were just poking through the tops of the nipples, AKA, just a bit long. Mavic advertises nipple seat diameter at 602, so they tell you to add 3mm for the ERD.
If I built them over again I'd build using an ERD of 603.

Okay so when you're using a spokcalc its (for 700c) 622- the diameter of your rim right?

Give me the formula hub specs (c-f, flange diameter) and let me see what I come up with.

How many spokes are you using....?

32, Thanks Tomo_ishi. I've been getting varied numbers. But thats the answer thats come up most. I might try and stretch it with 294 because I can get DT competitions in that size for a nice price

Why use a spoke that's too long for the build to save a few extra dollars?
Buy your spokes at 292mm if you want to do it right. You'll run out of thread if the spokes are too long, and as I mentioned already, using an ERD of 605 will put that spoke right through the top of the nipple; 292mm is already on the longer side.
