Just received some Lightbicycle rims (60mmx23mm) - the ERD listed on their website appears to be out by 5mm... Am I measuring incorrectly or are they wrong?
234 x 2 + 57 = 525

Light bicycle has on other occasions listed nipple seat diameter instead of erd so you are probably doing it right making your own measurements..

What does "ERD is Mavic's Nipple Seat Dia + 3mm for nipples" mean?

Thanks Svenhöek, that's very helpful and reassuring. Will be ordering CX-Rays so could have been an expensive mistake!

Will double check in the morning to see if it is 4 or 5 mm out.
