spoke length calculations
« on: March 17, 2015, 06:12:57 AM »
Anybody know of a data base or spoke length calculator ?

Looking to lace a CB450 drum to an 18" rim.   I know Buchannon's is out there, but if I know the correct spoke length, I can find a cheaper alternative.
The drum is a 200mm (front)
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.
