you need to know the dimension of the rim and hub, and if it's front or rear.

if it's for front, I'd order 254mm. I used erd = 527mm, with 43mm flange and 25mm width from center to flanges.

yea i have all the hub/rim dimensions.
my confusion was in the different results from the different calculators.
Ordered 254mm, the result from the DT calculator as im buying DT spokes
but CRC suggested 252mm so i went with that as i trust thier judgement

p.s i have no LBS Frown
