Hello,
im building some wheels for myself for the first time and need a little help with spoke calc so I dont fuck up and buy the wrong spokes.
On the DT swiss spoke calc, it asks for "no. of intersections" in the spokes bit.
I take this to mean, how many "cross" i.e the lacing pattern. So I entered 1 for both sides of the front wheel as I want one-cross.
Would someone more experienced mind checking to see if Im doing it right?

I have DT swiss 1.1 double eyelet 36H rims and Suzue Hi flange Hubs.
I get 271mm for the front(one cross) and 284mm for the rear(3 cross).
Is this correct? And does it make a difference whether I lace the front one-cross on the inside or the outside of the flange? Also I found some 285mm spokes on sale, is that too different from 284 to work?
Would appreciate any advice,
Many thanks.
