I have done the calculation but it would be great if someone could confirm it. I make it 256/7mm. Alfine 11 spd 32 hole hub, laced 3 cross on to a Mavic XC717 Disc rim with an ERD of 541mm, flange dia is 92.6mm, spoke hole is 2.6mm, offset is 29.5 and 24mm. Inout much appreciated.
Thanks.
can't comment on your numbers without the hub dimensions, however i'd consider ( having built an alfine 8 wheel last year ) going 2 cross. the angles that the spokes end up at relative to the rim, as a result of the hub's flange diameter, can be quite large. if i was going to build another i'd go two cross. HTH.
As above, as an Alfine 8 owner (similar flange diameter and spacing) both my friends with an Alfine and I have gone for a 2 cross setup due to the large flanges.
I originally built it 3 cross without thinking about it and it was so wrong I bought new spokes and rebuilt it!
Funny, I built an 8 spd alfine with 3 cross and no problems, thanks for the inout though. Never built 2 cross!
