I'm looking to build up a hugo52 29+, the spoke holes are offset 5mm either side of centre, there isn't anything to take that into account in the dt Swiss calculator. Do I just subtract the offset from the distance from hub centre to flange?

LBS said to just ignore it but that doesn't seem right.

Yes, just subtract from the centre-to-flange distance.

It'll make next to no difference, maybe 0.5mm, probably less

here it is. Ignore code errors.

Built a set of Light Bicycle offset drilled fat bike rims and spoke lengths were good
