So I understand, and of course the .3mm is insignificant. But it shouldn't be there at all!
On the other hand, the last time I've bought spokes from my LBS the guy disappeared in the back to measure my hub, came out with a bunch of spokes, and they were a mm or two short. I suspect he forgot I'd said 32H, not 36H, or maybe he just screwed up. Anyway, the point is, those calculators and accompanying databases aren't always correct. I measured the Normandy hub and came up with slightly different values, not terribly different but enough to make me think I'd measured it wrong.
I'm thinkin' I should check spocalc or spokechart or both or all of the above. Or something.
