Anyone had any experience with building WTB rims (scraper i40 and Frequency i19). How accurate were the published ERD values (yes I know I should measure)? Was hoping to order spokes before going away but rims have not arrived.

Only experience is with i25s, which measured up exactly the same as the spec on their site 🙂

Likewise, ERD was accurate for me but as you know this is taking a chance.  At the least, measure the ERD of your received rims before you start building.  If they are far enough off-spec to need different length spokes at least that way you'll save the aggro of discovering the hard way when there's no longer any prospect of exchanging the spokes...

I replaced a cracked carbon rim with an i25 purely because it had the same published ERD as the dead rim - fitted perfectly, so another vote for their measurements being accurate.
