Another wheel day (and so on).
As I mentioned briefly the other day,
I disassembled a DT 1900 wheel that a customer brought in.
I'm building a wheel using this hub.
Front 24H, rear 28H.
What happens to the rim after this, I have no idea.
Both front and rear hubs have "DT" in their model numbers,
which is probably the manufacturer name DT.
DT was originally a spoke maker, but lately they've been really pushing into hubs and wheels.
In doing so, they either acquired a company that was already making hubs,
or they're having hubs made by someone else and putting DT's name on them—
I'd guess it's probably the latter.
I think the actual manufacturer, who makes hubs for other brands too,
assigns these part numbers specifically to distinguish the hubs they supply to DT.
The rim for the rebuild is a 50mm-deep carbon tubular.
Front wheel is built.
Black CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing.
I've used black aluminum nipples as well.
Rear wheel is semi-comp, 48-hole lacing with no cross-bracing.
↑About the spoke heads overlapping on the 28H 8-hole cross lacing—
when I first started building this for a customer, I was pretty nervous about it,
but these days it doesn't faze me.
The deformation in the spoke's fore-aft direction when squeezing by hand
is about the same on both sides,
so I'm almost suspicious whether the rim's actually centered
(of course it is, properly).
Normally you can't tension the non-driveside this much.
Though I can't really convey that in a photo.
