i need to get some spokes/ nipples for my new wheels, how accurate is the DT swiss calculator for non- DT swiss wheels?

should i trust it?

the rims are Spank Stiffy (26'') and the hubs are Superstar Switch Evo jobbies

this is what i came up with

i know nothing about it and dont really want to buy spokes that arent going to fit, does that look about right?

thanks

    if you have fed it the correct info it is fine (maybe a tad on the long side) more spoke calcs in the tech links sticky.
