First off you are using a digital caliper which are notorius for skipping.

Tighten the friction knob...zero...slide...measure.

I bet you'll get better numbers.

I use analog calipers for all my measurements.

Anyway...as already mentioned you're building to multiple centerlines...you might get a slight variation in where spoke ends end up in the nipples, but not much else.

Also, a reminder that Novatec, no matter how good or high tech they look - they are budget cartridge bearing hubs - a mid range product.

If you want perfection, Phil Wood, Paul, Chris King...etc.
