Origin8/Formula hub dimensions for wheelset build
I just ordered a pair of Formula hubs, which appear to be unbranded versions of the Origin8 RD1100 hubs. Does anyone have the dimensions necessary to determine spoke length? Alternatively, has anyone built these into 700C Sun CR18 rims and kept a record of the necessary spoke lengths?

"Appears" is not good enough for measurement. I do not know if they are the same, so the advice given above is sound: measure when you get them.
Digital calipers accurate enough for such work are relatively inexpensive ($15-20).

You can use a version of this technique to measure offsets.
