I know the ERD (effective rim diameter) . . . I need the following ??

• Hub flange diameters
• Hub centre to flange measurements on each hub (centre to R/H flange and centre to L/H flange)

Cheers

its the hub centre to flange measurement that confuses me,am i right in thinkin i measure frome the gt sticker in the middle of the hub to the edge of the flange.

With your hub measurements . . . using long nipples

Cross 3 pattern . . . 210mm spokes

Cross 4 pattern . . . 218mm spokes (recommended)

Let me know if you need any more help
