I Built a Wheel with Open Pro

Another day of wheel (you know the rest).

I built a wheel with a Mavic Open Pro.
I had recommended our Noma Lab Wheel #1,
but the customer is in a position where they have to use Mavic for political reasons,
so we went with the Open Pro instead.

Since I wanted to reduce the number of spokes,
I went with the black Open Pro in 28-hole configuration.

For the front wheel, I built it with an Evolite hub 28H in CX-RAY spokes using reverse radial lacing.
With spoke counts this low, tangent lacing would be better for easier hub maintenance,
but since it doesn't affect performance,
I'm just not going to worry about it.

The rear wheel is an Evolite hub 28H with half-comp 2-cross lacing and a spoke junction.
Since CX-RAY spokes in the length needed for 4-cross lacing don't exist,
it ended up as 2-cross.
