Correct me if I’m wrong. I’ve written to sapim but didn’t get a reply. If using their MS washers, should I add 1mm to ERD, when calculating spoke lentgh?
I’ve found a technical drawing on some of their distributors’ site.

I think I would add 2mm, or have done in the past.

What’s best is actually measuring the ERD while using the washers, if you can.

Yep, I’m gonna order the washers and nipples first, then remeasure and order the spokes afterwards. Was just trying to avoid shipping since everything is from elsewhere.
Apropos, I’m glad I measured erd beforehand, since it’s 5mm off of the manufacturer’s number.
