Building my own wheels, maybe... Please help
I would like to order everything at once but cannot figure out my spoke lengths. I have a Shimano XT HU-M770 rear hub and going back and forth on Schmidt SON 28 (36H) and Shimano 3D71/3N71 (32H) front hub.
I have calculations for the rims, as they are right on Velocity's website.
Is the only way for me to acquire spoke length just to order hubs, buy a micrometer, measure them and just pray I got everything right?
I really appreciate any help.
BTW My rims are
Front: ERD = 536 Velocity Aeroheat front 26"
Rear: ERD = 531 Velocity Cliff hanger rear 26"
Both in 36 hole (Unless I go with Shimano Dynamo, then 32H), 3 pattern

The Shimano hubs should be spec'ed on most popular spoke calculation programs/spread sheets. Try this one for example.

Can't help you on the Schmidt, but most manufacturers also list specs on their websites or will email you them if you ask.

The Peter White Cycles homepage lists Schmidt hub build data:

The manufacturer's page seems to be mostly in German, but there's a diagram with the same data on it too.
