SON 29 S TR 12x100, 6-bolt (straight pull) spoke length

Straight pull, 24, 32 hole. Flange diameter 69.78 mm left and 43.62 mm right, centre to flange 21.8 mm left and 34.2 mm right. SON set the lacing on this hub, and the calculator follows it. Pick your rim in the calculator for your exact spoke lengths.

Rim

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

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

How to measure ERD yourself
gapspoke + nipple,screwed on flushERD = spoke + spoke+ gap

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

Straight pull. Flange diameter 69.78 / 43.62 mm, centre to flange 21.8 / 34.2 mm (left / right).

Hub not listed? Choose "Type in my hub", or tell me which one and I'll add it.

Lacing

SON set the lacing for this hub. 16:8: 16 tangential spokes on the disc side, 8 radial on the other. Needs a rim drilled for 2:1 lacing.

Spokes

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

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

Spoke lengths

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

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

Tension: the left spokes run at 67% of the right side's tension. Bracing angles 4.8° left, 6.5° right.

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

Often needed with this wheel

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.
