After some help please... I have Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs with ZTR Flow EX rims - 650b. Am I right in thinking I should be getting 270 spokes?

That sounds a bit short to me. I would _expect_ off the top of my head 272s.

I picked up a great little Android app for calculating spoke lengths a while ago - it's in the Google Play Store, called Bike Tools. You can either select your hub & rim from the wide range of choices available or enter the flange & ERD measurements.

Also has a gear calculator.

Don't know if it's available for apple though, if that's your thing.

I'd be amazed if they were 270 all the way round?

Just put the info into one of the online Spoke Calculators

https://leonard.io/edd/

has been accurate for me but always use a second calculator as they do differ very slightly sometimes

Not sure he's got those tyres seated properly.

I thought when I typed it that it was a bit lazy and a veritable invitation to pedants.

What spoke calculator for square wheels?
