I have been trying to work out how to do this for ...months years? now...and have got no where. keep coming back to it as I am damned if I am going to let it beat me.
Reason I want to know is that often Spoke length calculators use spoke angle..as in :
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/mismatch/
where you put the angle in to work out spoke length.
That formula..without further work is only good for wheels where the rims is central to the hub
The other sort of spoke length calculator, asks to specify the number of crosses, sometimes as a decimal figure. I always find it easy to calculate the spoke angle as found from using the link above, bu no idea how to convert that angle in to a decimal cross number.
I thought I had it today, but no
I had gone through this page
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/rinard/36-24.htm
made up a theory of how to do it...then tried to apply to Chalo's work
http://rideyourbike.com/36hub24rim.shtml
And it failed
but still can't see if there is an easy way to convert spoke angle to decimal crosses..
Is is simply spoke angle divided by angular spacing of the rim holes?
