Help on calculating spoke length I am going to replace my bent hub on my MTB. The hub is Novatec D042SB and the rim which I am going to order is Sun Ringle Inferno 25 29er. Since my hub is not so popular there are not any default dimensions available in online spoke calculator databases. I cannot take apart all the stuff on the wheel for precise measurements and that's why I have to ask for your help. I have used several calculators and all of them gave me different result ranging from 290mm to 294mm. Here are the dimensions of my hub in Novatec's official website. Flange to Flange 58.4mm Flange Diameter 58mm Over Locknut 135mm Offset of centers 6.8 mm Rim ERD 602 mm If anyone has experience with building a wheel, please help me to determine the exact length of the spoke Thanks in advance

Rather than quoting figures for the right and left flange distances from the Locknut centerline distance, they quote a "flange to flange" distance, along with an offset, for some mysterious reason.

This image: < should help translate their "Flange to Flange" and offset figures to be right and left flange distances. In the case of this hub, your left and right flange distances are:


Wl = (F.T.F/2 + Offset) = 36.00mm
Wr = (F.T.F/2 - Offset) = 22.40mm


Using the dt swiss calculator, I calculate 292 and 291mm spokes for building a triple-cross wheel with your selected components.
