Another day working on wheels (and so on).
A customer handed me a G3 hub in 28-hole configuration.
Since it's brand new there's not much to see,
so I'll just note that the tape went on with the same lack of motivation it always does.
Got it built up.
The XR300 rim has a decent rim depth and is 28-hole, so I went with a 4-cross lacing pattern,
but because of the G3 hub's large flange geometry, the spoke tension on the non-drive side
is tracking the drive side in an absolutely crazy way.
During initial truing I pushed the drive side a bit too hard,
and for the first time in a while I got nervous and eased off on the drive side tension.
（When building new wheels, I don't usually loosen nipples except for fine-tuning）
The sides of the spokes are basically touching the hub body.
With any deeper rim than this, 28-hole 4-cross lacing might not be possible.
（Though to be fair, there aren't that many 28-hole rims with rim heights of 30mm or more to begin with）
