remark
the calculation methods mentioned above differ sligthly from each other by putting e.g. spoke hole, or spoke radius
into consideration or not.
the provided method within this module uses a mathematic 3d geometric vector and matrix based approach
to determine the length of a spoke using numpy.
how to use
maintain your rim and hub data in the xls sheets provided in the github repo
call the simple gui
with (remark: hubs.xls, and rims.xls base dir is "~/Downloads")
python3 -m pybicyclewheel_gui
or use it along with sample.py.
alternatively explore xls_calc.py
and use the classes directly (less convinient).
probably a better user interface (then the simple one) will be provided later ... (if i have time i will do)
structure of the xls - sizing data
todo...
where to find sizing data
browse the manufacturer web site and search for specification
- shimano https://productinfo.shimano.com/#/spec
- ...
or search for the product detail page
if none of the above is available measure the component (not recommended)
