• DT Swiss may make the hubs but maybe not exact copies of what they put in there wheels. I doubt the DT swiss calculator will give the right results. i could be wrong. there is no calculator for straight pull hubs which is the problem.

    you could do a drawing and with the position of the hole from the hub centre measured you could do a bit of trig to calculate the spoke length. That is the opposite, the adjacent will be the distance on the drawing (as its 2D) from the spoke hole to the rim. then spoke length = height of nipple head + sqrt(opp^2+adj^2)
    I think that is.

  • I think that is

    It's the same maths as j-bend spokes; locate the two ends in Cartesian space and do Pythagorus to the difference.

    If the two ends are located at x1y1z1 and x2y2z2 then

    Spoke length2 = (x1-x2)2+(y1-y2)2+(z1-z2)2

  • That what I did but with a short cut I'd didn't explain. What u did only works with a drawing otherwise you have to use the proper method you gave.
