    Hi.

    I am looking for some advice regarding spoke lengths, having had a look online and used various calculators I think i have the correct figure but would like some confirmation.

    Here is the info, I would really appreciate it if someone could help with this or even point me in the direction of a company who could (I will happily pay!),

    Hubs – Pro 4 Straight pull
    Rim ERD – 540.5mm
    Asymmetric rim so 3mm off set
    Spokes – CX Ray aero

    The remaining info is on the graph below:

    I came out with 271 F & 270mm R.

    Does this look right?

    Thanks in advance

    By my calcs using DT 12mm nipples (which should be the same as the ones that come with your CX Rays I think) the you get 267 all round. Calcs here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3hhejpkqjhqdv3/Calculation-04032017-181015.pdf?dl=0

    Edit: FYI you’re calcs are based on j bend not SP hubs hence the difference.

    Thanks for the reply Ben and screenshot, does that also actor in the asymmetric rims? I presume they will make a difference compare to normal?

    Yes, you’ll notice that the flange distances are +/-3mm from what they actually are to account for the asym rim. You should check my numbers against this to double check: http://www.hopetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-PRO-4-SP24-HUBS-SPOKE-OFFSET-AND-PCD1.pdf

    EDIT OK all fixed 🙂 268s all round.

    Is that ERD from the manufacturer or measured? Double check it!
