Hello.
I'm hoping someone can help me please with spoke length as I'm getting nearly same size spokes for each side of my Hope hub and I don't think it's right.

32 hole Mavic Reflex SUP road rim double eye clincher 700c

32 hole Hope XC hub rear 8/9/10 speed 135mm/QR disc brake version but not using the disc as will be building for V-brake.

Will be using 3X when building.

Did you measure your hub and rim diameter or are you using dimensions from online sources?
I recall building a rear wheel with an Open Pro and Zipp hub with the same length spokes on each side, but I might have cheated on each side a bit. Wheel build was fine, but the Zipp hub was the weak link and I didn't get many miles out of it.
