http://lenni.info/edd/ i got 259.3 and 260.1 using that calculator
online spoke calculators
I compared the results between wheelpro.co.uk and bikeschool.com regarding the spoke length for the ff : mavic xm719 disc rim 32 hole with ERD 540 and Chris King ISO QR 32 hole disc hubs
wheelpro = 265 mm
bikeschool = 260mm
so...which result should i go for then before i start building my wheelset?..many thanks!

What did you do to arrive at that length? Perhaps looking at the 28 hole version?mountainjoo said:I compared the results between wheelpro.co.uk and bikeschool.com regarding the spoke length for the ff : mavic xm719 disc rim 32 hole with ERD 540 and Chris King ISO QR 32 hole disc hubs

nope. they have the CK ISO measurements ready as well as the rims. I just supplied the rim's ERD and pressed the calculate button...and that's what the calc gave me. hence the query on the conflicting results.roger-m said:What did you do to arrive at that length?

But what did you input for the number of crosses?

Edit - I see that Roger's spoke calculator gives lengths for all spoke crosses. What cross did you choose?
Just to point out the obvious, this is why I always run my spokes length calcs through at least two calculators. In the event of a discrepancy between two "opinions," I call for a third doctor, but I also assume I made an entry error and re-run the numbers. It's normal to have a little variance, but once you're into the whole millimeter territory, something needs looking into.
I usually use three to double (triple?) check as wrong length mailorder spokes would be too much to bear.Speedub.Nate said:Just to point out the obvious, this is why I always run my spokes length calcs through at least two calculators.

FWIW--I use the DT Swiss online calculator. I've built 25+ wheels using it's calculations, not one spole length issue. I use to have a cool Excel spread sheet spoke calculator, but the DT one gave me the same results and was a little easier to use.
I just use one (DT Swiss) and input my own data. I have learned how it "works" for me and results have been 99.9% good.Speedub.Nate said:Just to point out the obvious, this is why I always run my spokes length calcs through at least two calculators.

Adding results from other sources could just be confusing.
How'd you come up with the ERD? Measuring or ? Why did you need to supply the ERD if the database had the rim? Mavic's measurements can be an issue...mountainjoo said:nope. they have the CK ISO measurements ready as well as the rims.

sounds like garbage in, garbage out. you need to make sure you input the exact same values into each calculator. 5mm is a mile in spoke length.
Yeah, that one has bit me before. Mavic lists spoke bed diameter instead of ERD. Either measure actual ERD (good practice anyhow), or add 3mm to Mavic's published numbers (the height of two nipple heads).Bikinfoolferlife said:Mavic's measurements can be an issue...
