• In the process of building up a Dynamo hub for the GF, but I'm unsure on the spike length, my spoke length calculator doesn't have this particular hub in it and trying to find the specs on it have defeated my google-fu.

    Rim is a dt Swiss 466 erd is 604mm
    Hub is a shimano xt dynamo dh-t785
    Hole pcd is 70mm
    Flange distance is 52.1mm
    And that's as much info as I have.

    Any more info on the hub or the spoke length for this build would be appreciated..

  • Are the hub flanges equidistant from the lock nuts? If not you need to measure them like so to find A and B:

    Once youve done this, input all the data into this spoke calculator, including the number of spoke holes and crosses you want. You will need to click 'enter your own measurements'.

    I much prefer taking my own measurements over using other peoples as you can triple check its correct. Hubs may also change slightly over the years but remain with the same name so its useful to know the exact specs of the hub you own. Invest in a decent set of verniers if you dont already have a pair
