Title: Spoke length calculator
Post by: tisun on August 20, 2026, 05:05:49 PM

Any recommendations for a reliable one?  I've tried https://spokecalc.io/ and https://bicyclecalculator.com.  Same rim specs, hub specs, they gave me different lengths haha.  Don't know which one I should use to buy spokes for my first DYI wheelset.

Look on the DT Swiss site for their calculator. I’ve used it many times and it’s always been accurate.

Spokecalc or dtswiss calculator. Both have also option do to calculation for straightpull hubs and results are fairly close.

Works for me. Doesn't do straightpull spokes, but who in their right mind hand builds with those.
