Spoke size?
First post at this site and hopefully it is an easy one. I have found some difficulty finding any information via the internet.
I am trying to build my own 28 spoke front wheel. I have purchased a Mavic CXP21 650c wheel and a Shimano Dura-Ace Front Hub SH-HB7700. I am trying to find a formula or something that will tell me what my spoke size would be to use for this combination. Can anyone help?

www.bikeschool.com/spokes is good too. DT's one has a list of rims and hubs so you don't have to measure though.
