  1. I have to replace a rim, and I'd like to save a bit of work by finding one with the same ERD. Any
    tips on narrowing the field of candidates if I know the ERD? I have Damon Rinard's spoke calculator
    which lists ERD's in a sortable format (MS Excel). But my version is a few years old and I suspect
    it does not include some of the rims that are widely available today. I don't think that rim
    database has been updated recently.

    I don't yet know the ERD of the old rim. It was an Alex DV15. I could not find the ERD on
    www.alexrims.com. I'll probably measure a few of the spokes sometime soon and calculate the ERD. If
    you know the ERD of that rim, feel free to chime in.

    The most recent update was on October 6th of last year.

    Super, thanks! I was mistaken.

    It doesn't list the DV15, so if anyone has that ERD, I'm listening...

    The ERD of DV15-700C is 606mm. (Alex DV-15)

    According to the Alex people anyway. I sent that on to Damon a bit ago, so it should show up in the
    next spocalc.

    Note that things do get removed as well as added, so don't zap your previous versions. (original
    SON, not that it's difficult to get the measurements eleswhere)
