• I'm going to build fixed gear rear using a FRONT Shimano Deore M756 disc hub with a bolt-on cog from VeloSolo.

    I've bought the hubs and some rigida DP 18 rims. Now I'm browsing for spokes.

    I want the rear wheel to be non-dished and I've worked out chainline etc.

    Now the question is, in this Shimano spec sheet, centre to flange distance is documented. Does that sound right. Can I just pop that information, along with the 100mm OLN, 61mm flange diameter and 581mm ERD into a spoke calculator and trust the result I get? I got 277. Anyone with a similar setup who can back that up as accurate?

    Thanks very much,
    M

    A few other questions:

    1. Is OLN irrelevant if the wheel isn't dished?
    2. I actually got 277.8, shall I round down to 277 or up to 278?
