Hi all,
Looking to swop out some straight pull areo blades for nice round spokes, and I have found that the existing spokes are 2mm longer due to the spoke nipples having a castelated crown for adjustment from the tyre side, within which the thread runs right to the top. Almost like a sapim 12mm nipple with an extra 2mm on the head.
In fact screwing a sapim 12mm onto the blade spokes results in nipple not even contacting the rim.
I figure I could just buy the new spokes 2mm shorter, but I'd like to calculate it for the sake of it. And here is where it gets fun.
The hubs are hunt race aeros, the front wheel radial, the rear radial on the NDS, and 2 cross on the DS.
I am having trouble finding a calculator that will do this, for example the specific design of the pitch circle.
Anyone know of a good calculator for straight pull?
Any hints tips etc also greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
