• Wheelbuilding is almost as contentious as religion. Someone's always going to wade in with their spoke stretch/round down/reaching end of thread opinions, to which they're entitled.

    I'm sticking with this, if wanting to be absolutely sure of things:

    • measure ERD of rim in 4 places, and take an average.
    • run hub/rim measurements in 3 different spoke calcs, and take an average.
    • round up or down to nearest spoke available within 1mm.

    But there are more experts on forums like Weight Weenies than this one.
