592 is about right if you use conventional nipples, as opposed to the Torx ones, or whatever they are called.

How does nipple choice affect erd?

I thought the difference might be washers v no washers.

The squorx nipples by DT need different spoke length, as i understand, so that is built in the ERD for convenience. i am not sure this is the case for DT 460 though. Pretty sure it is for the 511, as they came with those nipples when I ordered them

Hmmm, changing the erd seems like poor form, it’s bound to create confusion as this discussion shows.

The erd should be the erd and the nipples should come with a disclaimer to increase calculated spoke lengths by Xmm.
