• I'm new to this, but want to try lacing up a wheel. Will take it to a shop to tension/make into an actual wheel.
    The plan is:
    Sturmey Archer HBT30-R (130mm fixed so no dishing)
    WTB KOM i25 27.5
    3x

    I've thrown everything into this calculator:
    https://bikeschool.com/resources/spoke-calculator
    and it came out with 262.5mm spokes.

    based on:
    effective rim diameter - 544mm
    Pitch Circle Diameter/flange diameter - 61.5mm
    hub centre to flange centre - 33.3mm
    spokes - 32
    pattern - 3x

    Have I missed anything? Does this look okay? I'd round up the spoke size to 263mm wouldn't I?
    And otherwise just need nipples and I can start lacing up?

    Thanks very much for your help!

    Feel free to drop it round to mine, pretty sure I'll have a lot of spare time on my hands and little to do, can drop it back off at a safe distance.
