anyone got a method for calcs on wheels with star spoke patterns?
The method is the same for any pattern, just use trigonometry to locate the two ends of the spoke in Cartesian space, then ask Pythagoras for the straight line distance between them. I'd draw it in Fusion360 and measure, because I'm lazy and already have the CAD, but it's not worth installing CAD just for a few simple calculations.
