i gotta get a new wheel built up and i was going to get a hope pro 2 trials hub and lace it to an echo rim. i dont know what length spokes i need because i cant find out the specs on the wheel. my friend wants me to order the rim and he will measure it up then we can order spokes but I want to save some time and just get everything ordered at once.
i dont know exactly what dimensions he needs but he said he wants to build up the wheel in a 4 cross pattern. thanks

32h: 257,3mm on both sides for 3x and 269,4mm for 4x.
36h: 253,4mm for 3x and 264,0mm for 4x.

do these spoke lengths work with a tryall rim on a hope hub?

That would be 261,2mm for 32h and 3x.
273,4mm for 32h and 4x
257,4mm for 36h and 3x
267,9mm for 36h and 4x

where are you getting these numbers from just out of curiosity? do you have a list somewhere? and if i order the spokes, do i round the number up or down?
