Hello All,
I am about to have a wheel laced up and I am about to order my rim and spokes. I will be using the DT Swiss 545DB 700c on a Q128 CST. I did the calc on both Grin and the DTswis site and got fairly close numbers. However, I am unsure if I shoudl buy 2 different sized spokes, split the difference or buy the shortest version. Also lacing pattern will dictate the spoke length. I had planne don a 3 cross, but after reading the suggestions on the Grin calculator it mentions that due to Hub Motors having a larger flange diameter than a standiard bike hub that its best to just do 1 cross. Can someone verify that. The Q128 is a bit on the small side and perhaps I shoudl go to 2 cross. Any advice would be helpful. Also can people check my math to make sure I did this correctly.

As for spokes I will liely buy the Sapim black spokes fromn Luna or a set of DTswiss Champion spokes when I order the wheel.
I am open to any help and advice.
