How to Measure a Bicycle Hub for Spoke Length
Measure left and right flange PCD, center-to-flange distance, OLD and spoke-hole diameter using the same references as the J-bend formula.

Wheelbuilding and drivetrain measurement tools for careful workshop use.
Measure the actual wheel or drivetrain parts, preserve left/right geometry, and treat stock-size comparisons as workshop information rather than compatibility approval.
No proposed Cycling route has passed every formula, source-rights, jurisdiction and professional-review gate. BrowserPowerTools does not publish a plausible-looking sizing result merely to fill a category.
