Built up an ENVE 1-45 rim

More wheels today (and so on...).

I've got a backlog of ENVE rim orders piling up.
I'd love to knock them out, but it's all about working through them in order...

Separately, I've also got an order for SMART ENVE wheels,
but from that same customer I still haven't even built up
a different carbon rim they sent me beforehand.

Anyway, I managed to get one pair done today.

The front wheel is an Evo Lite hub CX-RAY inpoke radial lacing.
Going with inpoke was my own call.

The rear wheel is an Evo Lite hub semi-comp 2-cross lacing.

Right now I'm using what I called the "third-generation Pillar nipples" in my last post,
and when you change nipples like that,
the spoke length correction values change too—which is a bit of a hassle.
It won't be an issue going forward, but today I really struggled with it.
