Wheel building - finding spoke lengths? Calculators?
All,
I am working on a wheel build for my trailer. I am trying to find the spoke lengths. Several years ago I got parts from Ben's Cycle. I don't recall that being that difficult of a process - I got rims and spokes from them and was able to come up with the spoke dimensions pretty easy. This time around I am not finding a method of finding the spoke lengths. Their online "wheel builder" doesn't calculate anything, it just pairs parts together to purchase then they build with the parts you select. I just want to calculate the spoke length then buy the parts from the dimensions.
Are there other wheel builder calculators/resources out there you would recommend that will give me the info I need?
To throw a curve ball in it is I have offset hubs (disk brake hubs - the brake side flange is closer to the center than the opposite of the brake flange) and I want to be able to offset the rim from the centerline. So there are 2 "offsets" I need to compensate for in calculating spokes. The rims aren't going to be centered on the axles as they would in a bike between the drop outs.
