• novice wheel builder here...any advice / comments etc on the following would be appreciated before i commit...building a rear 29" disk wheel for general xc touring use - tyres not wider than 2.25"

    hope pro evo 2 hub
    wtb asym i29 rim
    DT Swiss competition plain gauge spokes - brass nipples - 292mm

    32 spoke - 3 cross pattern -

    This site http://www.kstoerz.com/freespoke/ suggests spoke length to be 290.4 / 290.5

  • DT Swiss competition plain gauge spokes

    Champion? Comp. plain gauge do not exist.

    292mm

    Round down from your calc. to 290

  • yes, meant competition - champion are DB right?

    is the logic of rounding down to avoid the spoke protruding above nipple into rim?
