spoke length

Hello,

I posted alittle while ago about my ss converson. I was giving it another go and I noticed that my rear wheel was still off center, I guess I didn't get the dish right. The trouble is that the spokes are bottoming out on the right side, I was going to rebuild the wheel (I have built about 6 - 10 years ago, little rusty!)so I checked a number of sites w/ spoke calc., I am getting some diff. lengths and was wondering the best way to proceed? Sometimes the diff. is 1 mm/1.5mm.

rim-549
hub dia.-45
center to flange-27
x3 - 36h

Thanks once again,

Greg

I'd use the number that comes up most often. Or measure the non drive spokes (if you're not almost to the end of them already) and go from there. It's not as precise of a situation as you might think.
