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

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.
Open 4 was 605, Open SUP was 604(?), Reflex and Open Pro are 602.
