Exact specification of formula hub

I'm looking to find out the exact specifications of a formula 36h high flange hubset. Like even the diameter of the spoke holes. Anyone know where I can find this info, I looked on the formula website.

I've got a pair of 700c velocity deep v's and these IRO 36h high flange hubs and I'm looking to know what are the exact size of spokes i need. Also, how close does the exact size need to be and the size of spoke you actually buy? If it's within 1mm do you still need to cut them?

Thanks,
J

Is it just me or does clicking "Track" not show anything at all?

I seriously can't find any specs on the sight for the life of me.

The site is slow, but it works for me. Give it some time.

You should invest in a set of vernier calipers, if you ever plan on doing any more wheelbuilds. This way you can never go wrong. I've seem some hugely wrong numbers posted on forums/websites for things like ERD/hub measurements. All critical things to determining the correct spoke length.

Most but, not all hubs are already in the spocalc spreadsheet.
