Have a look at my new spoke length calculator web app!

  • Splatter your site with 'spoke length calculator' in white text on a white background. It works. Do every page as a footnote and hidden text. Meta-tags don't always work that well for some sites.

  • Needs a 28 hole option (or a "enter your own value" type thing).

  • It does have a "enter your own value" type thing. In the column where you select the the number of spokes, there is an empty box at the bottom where you can enter your own number - even decimals.

  • great tool, i've used it several times now and havn't had any problems

    doh :(

    Ended up using the spread sheet 'cause I didn't look carefully enough. I will still blame you though. As the designer you should take into account idiots like me. ;)

  • Just looked at it again. I'm really not that bright it seems.

  • Hey! Thanks for a great tool for confirming spoke, hub, and rim combinations.

    TucsonMTB . . . who is about to build a road wheel, he hopes. :D

  • Well deserved!

  • On your Google perhaps.

    Log out of Gmail and try again... I'm seeing dtswiss at the top, and see you as entry #11, so first on the second page.

    Sure? Are you using google.com or .co.uk?

  • I clicked your link.

    Hmm.

    I bet it's just Google being weird... that parts of the server farm are showing different results.

  • Well done all the same, Lenni. Bare compooter skillz. When I eventually get round to building my own wheels I'll be all over this app.

  • Great stuff!
    So useful!

  • Nice app!

  • This app is awesome - people who make stuff = good people.
    Get some advertising!

  • Cheers, much appreciated.

    I thought about adverting but decided that the cost (user annoyance) would offset the small financial gain. Anybody got experience with this?

  • I had adsense on a blog I ran years back. Made a couple of quid (literally) so removed it. The situation may be better now though.

  • very nice web app!

  • novatec hubs on mavic a119 worked a treat, very precise. I'll use again!

  • I have been developing a new feature to the calculator: You can now add photos to a components detail page.

    I have uploaded one photo already, which can be found here: http://lenni.info/edd/hub/270-goldtec-track-rear

    I would like to ask you guys to beta-test the feature, too, and I'm keen to hear your feedback. What you would need to do:

    • Go to the overview of all components
    • Find the one you want to add a photo to
    • Log in. You can use an OpenID, which means your Google/Yahoo/whatever account lets you login. You don't have to create a separate account on my site.
    • Use the upload form (don't forget to add a caption)

    At the moment the individual component pages are not very easily accessible from the actual calculator, since they really are meant to show up in Google search results and then divert the user to the main page. But once this feature has been tested a little more I will add a link form the results box in the main calculator, so more people will get to see it.

    Things that will have to be improved:

    • searching the components list
    • better error handling if an upload doesn't work out
    • maybe more explanation on OpenID (is it clear what it does?)
    • ability to edit your profile name (at the moment it's a rather cryptic openiduser123)


    Gi'us your feedback!

  • You working on it t the moment?

    I'm getting a 'Down for maintenance' message

  • Hmm, there seemed to have been an outage at my hosting company. All seems to be okay now.

  • Lenni, I'm doing some calculations with this right now. Is this hub listed as C-Record low this one? I'm assuming so:

  • There are over thousand hubs in the database, most of which are from Damon Rinards original spreadsheet. I honestly can't tell you if it is the hub you are looking at, although on first glance it sounds about right.

    Maybe someone else can verify these measurements for the picture hub:

    Campagnolo C-Record low flange, rear
    Right flange ø: 44.5
    Left flange ø: 44.5
    Centre to right flange: 21
    Centre to left flange: 36
    Spoke hole ø: 2.3
