Rim NSD Measurements
We are now using Nipple Seat Diameter (NSD) instead of Effective Rim Diameter (ERD).
The ERD measurements are what you need in order to calculate spoke size for a wheel build. However, the ERD is based on the measurement of your nipple length (x2) as well. Since we do not know what kind of nipples you will be using, us providing the ERD measurement could result in you getting the wrong size nipples.
To calculate the ERD based on NSD, you will need to add the length of the nipple head two times to the listed NSD measurement. Typically a traditional nipple head will be 2mm, so you would need to add 4mm to the NSD. A double square nipple head is usually closer to 4mm, so you would need to add 8mm to the NSD in order to calculate ERD.
This image shows an example of the difference between NSD and ERD
Again. You NEED to know where you want your spoke threads to end and add that 2X to the NSD
If you use nipple washers, this will also affect the ERD measurement.
