I am building a wheel with the following characteristics.

Rims: CXP22
Hubs: Formula flip/flop fixed/free
Lace: 3 cross
Spokes: 32

Any idea what length should be the spokes?

If anyone has built a wheel with the same characteristics but another Mavic rim I could still calculate the difference between the rims…so…estimate the spokes for the CXP22s.
thanks :):D

    Most bike shops have access(which they pay for) to spoke length calulators. When I
    build wheels I usually buy, at least, the spokes from the bike shop, then they are happy
    to help with length problems. However asking them to help you for free doesn't work
    all that well.

    DT do a spoke calculator at www.dtswiss.com/SpokesCalc

    Sure you can select CXP22s from a drop down menu. Not sure about the hubs, suspect you'll have to enter pitch circle diameter, flange width etc manually but think these measurements are all available on formulahubs website

    Just realised the DT link takes you to German language site for some reason. Googling DT spoke calculator works though

    'spocalc ' does the job for you.

    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.
