Another day of wheel building (and so on).
Just as the title says.
Built the 24H front hub entirely with competition-grade radial spokes.
By the way, this hub's flange thickness and sharp edges
are really not suited for radial spoke lacing.
For the nipple colors, the customer wanted blue and red in equal amounts (not alternating, but split 50/50), but
blue × 8 pieces
purple × 8 pieces
green × 8 pieces
I suggested this combination and that's what we went with.
When riding in sunlight, the colors shift quite dramatically—pretty loud looking actually.
