EXAMPLE, if starting with a 2mm spoke, you'd have a cross section of 3.14mm (1x1xpi), or 3.14x1 or 2.5x1.25 when flattened. (or something comparable if more oval than flat)
I prefaced this by saying "normally" because it's possible to combine swaging and flattening to produce blades or ovals with smaller x-sections. (though offhand, I don't know of any that do)
*of course, if you have the spoke measuring is preferable.
I have the various spokes, but I didn't expect to find such differences. I'll use these spoke on my fixture to calibrate the Parktool tension meter so the exact dimensions don;t matter so much.
Thanks for responding
