I'm having trouble with calculators: I'm building Superstar Pave Ultra (rim brake) rims on old Hope Pro 2 disc hubs.
Rims are 585mm ERD (measured with two 200mm spokes), which matches published ERD. I need to double check the hubs but using published figures for now.
Front - Left PCD 56mm, right PCD 54mm, centre to left flange 20mm, centre to right 33mm.
Rear - Left PCD 56mm, right PCD 54mm, centre to left flange 33mm, centre to right 20mm.
DT calculator gives front 268mm & 270mm, rear 270mm, 268mm
Edd gives front 284mm & 284mm, rear 284mm, 284mm
Spokecalc(Roger Musson) gives front 282mm & 284mm, rear 284mm, 282mm
Pro Wheelbuilder gives front 282mm & 284mm, rear 284mm, 284mm
Who is right, I tend to trust Roger usually but I've never had DT being so far out? Is it safe enough to go 284mm all around?
