What I can say is that when I use the damonrinard.com spoke calculator or the one from the bike school somewhere in the northwest (slips my mind at the moment), the resulting spoke length always seems to be 3mm too long. Your results may vary.
Ok. Thanks. Entries in the calculator is where I'm having problems. Not sure how to get precise hub diameter and offsets. Looks like I'll be rereading Mr Brown and company.
