when you want to build a new wheel, but having no idea how to do it or even where to start with? I myself could relate to that feeling, a bit overwhelming for sure. 32spoke is a spoken length calculation tool, help cyclists like you to decide whether the hub, rim combo met the reality check.

32spoke

The idea was to build a tool to help me re-build my long-hauled front wheel. Then it became a webapp helps everyone whose wants to build a wheelset by herself/himself.

I hope this help you calculate spoke length for the next build

How the spoke length calculated

Note: only works for J-bend spokes at the moment. Not suit for Straight-pulll spokes

  • d = distance from the center of hub (along the axis) to flange, for instance of a rear hub, cTLF and cTLR are different
  • r1 = the radius of circle of flange holes, equals to PCD/2
  • r2 = half of Effective Rim Diameter (ERD), or the diameter the ends of the spokes make in a built wheel of the rim
  • r3 = radius of spoke holes in the flange, for example 2.6 mm,
  • m = number of spokes to be used for one side of the wheel, equals to half of the "spokeNumber"
  • k = number of crossings per spoke,
// spokeCalculator.js
const spokeCalculator = (d, r1, r2, r3, m, k) => {
	const angleCalculator = (crossing, spokeNumber) => {
		const angle = (360 * crossing) / spokeNumber
		return angle
	}

	const roundNumberToTowDecimal = (num) => {
		return Math.round((num + Number.EPSILON) * 100) / 100
	}

	const angle = angleCalculator(k, m)

	let spokeLength =
		Math.sqrt(d * d + r1 * r1 + r2 * r2 - 2 * r1 * r2 * Math.cos(angle)) - r3

	spokeLength = roundNumberToTowDecimal(spokeLength)

	return spokeLength
}

export default spokeCalculator
