Straight pull spoke measure
Hi all, first time post to Mechanics. I have searched google and BF but no luck with my specific question. Perhaps I am being too picky but I want to get it right the first time.
I need to replace some spokes on the drive side on a Zipp 404 carbon & aluminum clincher. Is the measurement overall length? or from the inside of the head. I get 242 oal and 240 from the inside of the head. Which one is correct?
Thanks!

I sold Wheelsmith Straight spokes for years, The length was measured to the inside of the head, (or said another way, not including the head) same as a nail or cap head screw.
