Found this while being too lazy to measure one myself. Mods may want to move it to the catalog section. Thought more folks would see it here.

Thanks for that. Just found some Sun rims at a swap meet. Going to build my first wheelset with them.

Built my first set of wheels with Sun M14A rims about 25 years ago. Still have them. I thought I was going to build another pair of Suns last night but found I needed 16 mm nipples for the 30 mm rims, which I didn't have.

ERDs should be measured, not looked up.

Altho it's great that somebody found this chart, gotta agree with Eric..just built a DT FR560 rim..says ERD 601 ON THE RIM...But I measured it before cutting spokes..597..the DT440 on their website had an ERD of 599 for a LONG time..ERD 595..so..'May' be how they measure it...BUT, I use Wheelsmith rods, even if it says what the ERD is on a website..or on the rim..

IMHO, and all that. :)

I've measured ME14A and it's over 1mm different. Those kind of differences can add up to ordering the wrong spoke lengths.
