Looking to build some wheels, it's been a while. What's the current go to spoke length calculator?

I like to do two calculations as any difference will show up an incorrectly entered measurement (Center to flange entered as flange to locknut etc) and the two I use are ProWheelBuilder and Leonardd.

Goes without saying but, do your own measurements, do not trust the databases built into calculators, retailer’s or even manufacturer’s numbers.

Thanks, it's been a long while since I built a wheel. Enjoy the experience but not often needed.

Remind me if you can be bothered the key dimensions needed. I'm planning a couple, some retro 26 inchers using a hope ti rear and a pace carbon front on some nos Mavic xc 717s (if I dare de-nos), and a 27.5er set to open up a build to a better fork.

Rim - erd.

Hub - oln, spoke circle diameter, locknut to flange or flange to centre (prowheelbuilder handily gives you one if you enter the other).
