It depends on the parts you are using. 700C rims have ERD as low as 477mm (deep carbon aero) and as high as 619mm although most are between ~600mm and ~615mm. A 619mm ERD, 28-hole rim built 3X on low flange hubs will require ~306mm spokes. A 587mm ERD (Mavic CXP30), 36-hole rim built 3X on high flange hubs will require ~280mm spokes.
