592 is about right if you use conventional nipples, as opposed to the Torx ones, or whatever they are called.
I havent calculated, but the spokes seem a tiny bit short for a 32 3 cross. I seem to recall that Archetype, same ERD used to build front at 290 with most hubs… but then again, been a long time…

Planning my first wheelbuild was wondering if someone wouldnt mind checking over my plan for a dt r460 / formula front hub build?
@M_V mentioned the r460s had a difference in stated ERD @ 596mm (595.5 on freespoke) and measured ERD @ 592mm, was planning on just using a calculator and ordering a formula hub and some sapim race at whatever length it calculated.
With the freespoke calc and 32 hole, 3 cross, formula front hub, I get 288.1 using the stated ERD and 286.4 for M_Vs measured ERD. Does this sound about right to order some 286mm spokes? or do I need to get measuring myself?
Cheers!
