Nextie Rollingstar III Road front 100mm, 24 hole (straight pull) spoke length

Straight pull, 24 hole. Flange diameter 35.8 mm left and 35.7 mm right, centre to flange 23.4 mm left and 33.4 mm right. Spoke offset 0 mm left, 0.4 mm right. Pick your rim in the calculator for your exact spoke lengths.

Rim

Choose the rim

ERD 591 mm, made in 24, 28 hole. Asymmetric: the spoke holes sit 3 mm off centre, allowed for in the lengths.

Washers under the nipples (optional), mm thick

Some alloy rims use them. Leave empty if you don't.

How to measure ERD yourself

Take two spokes of a known length and screw a nipple onto each until the thread end is flush with the top of the nipple. Drop them through opposite spoke holes so the nipples sit in the rim as they would in a built wheel. Pull them tight towards each other and measure the gap between the bent ends. ERD is the gap plus both spoke lengths.

Hub

Search hubs (optional)

Choose the hub (46 fit this rim)

Straight pull. Flange diameter 35.8 / 35.7 mm, centre to flange 23.4 / 33.4 mm, spoke offset 0 / 0.4 mm (left / right).

Lacing

Spoke holes

Crosses, left (disc side)

Crosses, right

I've started you on 2-cross for 24 hole, which suits most wheels. Radial is only for a side that doesn't brake or drive: a rim-brake front, or the non-drive side of a rim-brake rear.

SpokesSpoke type

Used for the stretch, the weight and the ping note.

Tension, tighter side, kgf

Most wheels 100 to 130. Check your rim's limit.

Spokes come in

Allow for spoke stretch (spokes stretch a little once they're tight, thin ones most)

Spoke lengths

Check your rim and hub against the maker's sizes before you order spokes.

Front wheel, 24 hole, straight-pull spokes, 591 mm ERD.

Side	Spokes	Length
Left (disc side)2-cross	12	288 mm288.2 worked out
Right2-cross	12	289 mm289.0 worked out

Rounded to the nearest mm. Between two sizes, go for the shorter one.

Tension: the right spokes run at 87% of the left side's tension. Bracing angles 5.3° left, 6.0° right.

Weight: these spokes and alloy nipples come to about 155 g (about 171 g with brass nipples).

Nipple length

Ping tuner: what each side should sound like

A#4, about 468 Hz at 110 kgf

A4, about 436 Hz at 96 kgf

Pluck each spoke between the rim and where it last crosses another, and match the note. Every spoke on one side should sound the same. It's a guide to even tension by ear, not a tension meter.

These lengths come from the makers' published sizes and a standard sum. Rims and hubs vary from batch to batch, and sizes you put in yourself are only as good as your measuring. Travers Bikes takes no responsibility for spoke lengths worked out with this calculator, or for spokes, wheels or parts bought or built using them.

Want me to build it?

I hand-build wheels in Rochford with Nextie carbon rims and Hope, DT Swiss, Chris King, Shimano, Nextie and SON hubs. I work out the spokes and order them, so getting the length right is my job, not yours.
