When I'm calculating spoke lengths for a straight pull hub like this one here:
Do I take the measurement from the centre of the flanges with the spoke holes in them, or do I have to measure the spoke holes for the trailing and leading spokes separately and calculate them separately? A bit of basic trig and some dummy numbers suggests that the offset between the holes and the centre of the flange is going to result in differences in the spoke lengths which will get lost in rounding down to the nearest available spoke length, but it would be good to have some confirmation that this is correct. Or to have someone tell me the right way to do it before I order a whole load of spokes which are the wrong length.
