Spoke length double check

Bike Camano said:

I'm hoping someone here can double check my calculations or direct me to where
I can.

36h Shimano XT (sh-fm750) rear hub 9 speed
36h Mavic X517
Laced 3x.

I came up with 261 (left) and 259 (right). Will that work?

Thank you!

I punched in the data into Damon Rinard spoke calculator and came up
with: 260.7 left side, 259.3 right side.

Spocalc gives 257mm (left) 256mm (right)

261 and 259 are the results I get for 32 spoke.

You're right Jeff. Just re ran the numbers again and punched in 36 for
spoke holes. 257mm (left) 256mm (right)

Which XT rear hub were you using? If you are using the non-disc XT hub
those 257 and 256 mm spokes will be too short. The 261 left and 259
right will be good ... in my calculations and selection of the non-disc
36 spoke X517 rimmed 3X wheel.

Back up to the top of the thread, Dave. Camano specified a FH-M750
hub- definitely non-disc-ish.

OK Jeff, I read that part. I used the same calulator you did. I used
the 36 spoke FH-M750 rear hub and X517 rim. I think your application of
the caluculator was in error. I think that you and Kenny Lee should
look again.

Damn, have to eat crow again! Live & learn. Re did the calculations
again and Dave be the "MAN".

Sorry Bike Camano for the crummy info.

Dear Kenny,

I wish that you guys would stop admitting when you make mistakes and
apologizing nicely and promptly. It exposes my shabby evasions, poor
sportsmanship, and lack of character.

Thanks,

Carl Fogel
