I am in the process of getting all the parts to build new wheels (first time building) and have come across bit of a pickle. The build will be as follows:
32h H+Plus Son Archetype
Low flange Phil Wood's
Sapim Race spokes
DT Swiss Pro Lock nipples
3x cross on both wheels
Now, since I've never done this before and I am yet to acquire any components, I can't exactly do all the measurements myself. I'm using this calculator (https://leonard.io/edd/) and when I input all the details, it gives me 2 different results for spoke lengths. Spoke lenght left being 290.4mm and the right being 289.6mm. I can only assume that it's because on the rims, the spoke holes appear to be slightly offset from the centre. So which result is it then?
