Hi,
I have been trying to a spoke calculator that has both Mavic XM 119 rims and 8-speed rear Alfine hubs SG501 so I can work out what spokes to order.
Any body got any ideas? Is there a rim that has the same dimension?
And I am presuming 2 cross is the way to go seeing as its such a large hub diameter?
Many thanks.
Looking to build the same wheel.
What spoke size did you use in the end? Did you go 2 cross?
Thanks.

2-cross
249mm both sides (32 hole)
246mm(L) / 245mm(R) (36 hole)
3-cross
265mm both sides (32 hole)
260mm(L) / 259mm(R) (36 hole)
Thanks but 249mm can't be right for 2 cross.
I built an Alfine 8 on Mavic XM317 disc 2 cross with 32 x 238mm spokes and the rims aren't that different.
