    Hi,

    I'm going to be building a new muni wheel soon and I'm
    getting some conflicting results from online spoke length
    caculators.

    The wheel components are as follows: Alex DX-32 26 inch rim,
    36 hole, ERD is 550 Unicycle.com wide hub 14 guage spokes,
    built 3-cross

    The Unicycle.com calculator gives me a spoke length of
    262.64mm.
    unicycleukcom.site.securepod.comSpokeCalc.asp

    The United Bicycle Institute calculator gives me a
    spoke length of
    270.3mm. bikeschool.comspokes

    Can someone run the numbers through a different (or the
    same) calculators and see what they get? In the past, these
    two calculators have been very close in their results.

    thanks a bunch..... Mojoe

    That's funny, I just got a Uni.com wide hub this afternoon
    and I'll be building the same wheel this weekend. Go with
    the 262. number. I built my Profile 26' wheel with 262mm
    spokes and the Uni.com hub has a slightly larger flange. The
    Suzue flange is larger and I'm pretty sure that combo uses
    260mm, so Roger's length sound good to me.
