I have a pair of high flange Sunshine Hubs and a pair of Araya 7x style rims. I have brought the combination into a couple of bike shops. They came up with different spoke lengths at each shop. One shop came up with 190 for the front and 183/184 for the rear. Other shop came in at 188 front and something like 201/207 rear.

I tried lacing up the front with the 190's, and, they seem too long. 188 is not much shorter, so, I don't have much faith in that either. Could be that I am lacing the wheel incorrectly (it's been a while), but, the spokes are all equally long when I am done.

Thought I would check here to see if anyone had any ideas...

Thanks.
