  1. Hi All,

    I'm going to order some stuff to build some new wheels. I don't know
    what length spokes I'll need. The stuff is all coming from the same
    place and is being combined with a buddy's order so I can't just get
    the hubs and rims first and measure, as everything has to come at once
    as shipping is expensive. The spocalc spreadsheet I've been using does
    not have up to date info on my hubs.

    So, what length spokes do I need for an Ultegra 6600 front hub with 28
    holes laced 2-cross to Velocity Deep V rim? What lengths for Ultegra
    6600 32 hole back 3-cross to Deep V?

    Thanks!

    Joseph

    280 mm front
    284 mm left rear
    283 (282 work if you can't get the odd milimeter length) mm right rear.
    I have even mm spokes in stock for this build.

    Use spocalc, it's a spreadsheet:
    http://www.damonrinard.com/spocalc.htm

    In Excel format, it works fine with Openoffice, Gnumeric, and even
    Google online Spreadsheets. The fancy version has measurements of most
    hubs and rims.

    Have fun!

    Sez who? All Shimano "road" hubs have had the nearly the same flange
    diameter and spacing since the dawn of time (or the '70's, whichever
    came first). If you look at the Spocalc data, you'll see very little
    variation- a millimeter here or there.

    That's what I've been using, but no 6600 info as far as I can tell.

    That may be the case, but I'm not a gamblin' man...

    Thanks for the offer, but the customs duties and fees makes it
    impractical for me when I have the option of getting spokes combined
    with an order for a whole buch of stuff my buddy is getting.

    Thanks!

    Double check the Ultegra specs at the dtswiss online calculator for
    peace of mind: I'm sure they're the same as spocalc. Get your ERD
    here, and order the spokes today:

    7800 and 6600 are different than 7700 and 6500..not much but not
    identical either.
