Will Atomlab spokes fit any Atomlab Rim/Hub set?

I bought a 24" GI hoop from this girl -- came with all 36 spokes/nipples -- and I bought a separate Aircorp hub. The website said it should work, but my calculator's saying otherwise..Anyone have experience with this setup? Thanks

How far off are the two measurements? Are you building 3 cross?

If you can use the calculator properly, I'd go with what it says.
But like Axis says, they may be fine if they are only off a little bit.

I guess I'm not using the calculator correctly -- though all 3 I've used yield the same results. It says I need 228mm spokes, but the girl gave me spokes I'm measuring at 10.5" (260mm). It just doesn't make sense because she had them built up with Atomlab hubs with these rims and spokes (260s would never fit). So, these 24s with other Atomlab hubs. I'm following Sheldon Brown's tutorial...So far, so good I guess : /

do the calculation for 4 cross... 4 cross sounds like it would work with 260mm... just not sure... so do the calculator
