Parks TM-1 Conversion table changes.
When I bought the TM-1, it came with a chart for the different spokes including DB spokes.
A year later I checked the one on their sight and it was different by one or two cells shift.
Today I looked up the one online and DB spokes are not listed!
So what should be the selection for a 2-1.8-2 spoke, 2 or 1.8?
I am thinking the 1.8 as this is the smallest cross section.

The device should be applied on the thin butted section and the chart for 1.8 used.

Yes, all that matters is the gauge in the central area where you're measuring.
Neither the spoke nor tool care about the gauge at the ends.
In the event you need to read a spoke with a gauge nor listed, use the nearest listed gauges and interpolate.
