Another wheel build today (and so on).
I built a front wheel with an Aero 2 rim.
The rim is a used one from my personal collection, and the hub is a brand new Veloce (※) from my personal stash.
※I could also write "Veloce," but the
Japanese catalog from this hub's era
used the spelling "Bellotche," so I went with that.
I'm not the one who'll be using it,
but circumstances arose that made it necessary to build it.
It also serves as practice, and doubles as a test of one of my hypotheses.
As for the Bellotche hub,
couldn't it just have the Campagnolo logo?
（Personal opinion）
The hub came in a brand new box.
I was fully prepared to do a radial spoke pattern, which is supposedly not allowed,
but as if to call my bluff, a little slip of paper like this was included,
so I decided against it after all.
↑The flange holes are offset toward the center,
so it really does look like radial spoking would be possible.
I went with a full Italian cross spoke pattern instead.
The "hypothesis" I mentioned earlier
has to do with how hard anodizing affects rim stiffness.
I've already reached my own conclusions about that,
but circumstances cropped up requiring me to test it on this particular rim,
so I built it. The results were satisfying, so I'm relieved. Hehehehe.
