Hopefully, I think, the tolerance might get to comfortable 2mm given the thread lengths, and any controlled measure, even not-high-precision, might achieve that. | |

| Apr 15, 2012 at 19:52 | comment | added | zenbike | This is a great answer. Unfortunately, my need in this case is more specific. I am aware of other methods of getting the spoke lengths I need, and I have thought about the points that you bring up here. What I need is the dimensions of the tool, as a beginning to revers engineering a spoke measurement formula that is existing, and based on the Wheelsmith tools. My intent is to recreate them, so that I can determine the fixed measurement system which is using them, so that I can accurately build a replacement which doesn't need them. I know there are options. This is a self education project. | |
