Open pro erd, 602 or 605?

I've seen maybe 10 different bike forums posts expressing confusion
about the open pro erd. Rinard and dt have it at 605, mavic at 602,
but I believe mavic states that it is not erd, but nipple seat
diameter, and their calculator gives results similar to rindards.

This made me inclined to go with 605, but yesterday I saw a wheel
built using 602 and it came out perfect. using longer spokes would
have been incorrect in this case. the spokes threaded right up to
flats in head of nipple and stopped. longer spokes would have entered
flats and possibly cleared head of nipple. I took hub measurements
myself to make sure there wasn't some other variable. Here's the
thread I've been following and posting on: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=500875.
Can anyone here contribute to this discussion?

Thanks

I use 602 ERD(measured by me with Wheelsmith spoke rods) and have
built probably 600 or so OPros. I also calculate length using
Wheelsmith Spocalc.

I'm sorry but this discussion can only be resolved by Gene Daniels.

If you actually have this rim, any reason you cannot measure it?

I'm not completely convinced that Mavic have always used the current
extrusion for the rim labeled Open Pro, so the original one may have
been 605 and the current one 602. The ones I have (recent production)
measured 602 ERD as defined in Sheldon's glossary
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_e-f.html

A change in extrusion might also explain why they're heavier than they
used to be :-)

4 iterations of similar Mavic clincher rims. Open 4, Reflex, Open SUP,
Open Pro. I believe they were all 602 but I'm at home, would have to
check my records.

But it is a semantic question. The actual rim dimension gets conflated
with the larger top-of-nipple dimension. All that gets tediously
difficult to explain sometimes. See r.b.t. extended discussion with Gene
Daniels for an example.

Mavic's tech document says "Spoke support diameter (in mm): 602" which supports what you have been using.
Why can't they use standard terminology!

I was parked down at the end of the straight where the road to Petrolia cuts around an outcrop in a blind turn.

Began a turn around to get back up the bluff for hawk watching....n stopped...waited

the garbage truck cameah zooming around the blind turn in bith lanes.

E.R.D GARBAGE

"ERD Garbage" ? Must be the Mavic Tech Support team vehicle
