Hi

I am going to try and build my first set of wheels for my Flux.
I already bought a set of black Chris King hubs, 32 hole, iso disc for qr.
I already have a box of black 16 mm brass dt nipples.

I am going to buy a set of black ZTR Alpine rims.
And dt competiton spokes, also black.

I wanted to try out the dt swiss spokes calculator, but they have erazed all other hubs than theyre own :-(
When I tried to use the user defined calculation option, it wasnt possible to choose spokes and nipples :-(
Could anyone please help me find out, what spoke lenght would be right for my build?

I really need a new set of wheels for serious training, since i have been feeling out of shape recently ;-)

That's a shame.

Try this one:

or download a more complex one:

There may be others. Shame about the DT one as I used that one exclusively for years.

Thanks for the alternatives!

And I agree, shame on DT Swiss!!

Stan's has a list of common spoke lengths on their boards:

the rims you wanted are listed with the same ERD as the Flows (536), hence you should be able to use the King/Flow lengths here:

Hot damn! I just ordered some spokes using that calculator a few weeks ago. Hopefully its just down for maintenance or something, that would be a huge loss.

Weird ut:

Wonder why they would do that. Maybe they are just doing an update to the database to purge old hubs. Fingers crossed that they bring it back. It was a good tool for quick check spoke calcs. Not really the end of the world as I typically have the hub in hand before buying spokes.

DT spokecalc has been in and out lately... hopefully, they're just updating. The rim section has been changed.. some new stuff there.

it has been screwed up for a bit, but there is even less info there now. even my saved stuff is gone
