Spoke length help

I just bought some phil wood high flange hubs and velocity deep v's. I am having a little trouble finding the correct spoke length. Can you help.

You can probably get the dimensions from the manufacturer's sites, or measure if not.

Your hubs and rims are listed in the drop down lists.

For the wheels I've built, I used Damon Rinard's "spocalc" Excel spreadsheet to calculate spoke length, and they came out great. It's hosted here now: https://sheldonbrown.com/rinard/spocalc.htm

It didn't have the hubs I was using (Nashbar track hubs) in the database, but since they published the specs I was able to type them in just fine. Good luck!
