I'm somewhat of a novice wheel builder, having only built a couple of sets of wheels, so looking to confirm my calculations with someone who actually knows what they're doing. Have used Sapim, WheelPro and DT Swiss Calculators, and think I have adjusted for rim offset correctly but was hoping someone with a bit more knowledge could confirm I'm on the right path as haven't built with offset rims before.
Plan is to built with Sapim race spokes, Sapim Polyax 12mm brass nipples.
Details are as follows:
Assuming I've calculated it properly, each spoke calculator pretty consistently recommends roughly 282mm spoke length on both sides for the front wheel.
However rear is a bit more iffy. Different calculations have it at:
Non-drive seems sensible to go with 260mm spokes, but for drive side am I better going for 258 or 260mm spokes given only 2mm increments available?
