Another day with wheels (and so on).

I built a wheel with a Tni CX28 rim.
As the title suggests, the reason I'm emphasizing "Tni" is
that this CX28 rim is made by Kinrin,
and I almost ended up wasting spokes because I calculated spoke length from the ERD
of a different rim with the same name—an ALEXRIMS CX28—that I'd built before.

Evolitehub 32H, half-comp four-cross lacing with aluminum nipples.
I'll probably do the tie-and-sew later, but honestly I think it doesn't matter much.
For the first time in a while, I didn't crank the free-side tension all the way to the limit.
Unlike a 24H, there's not much point tensioning a 32H that hard.
At this tension, it should be about the same stiffness as a 24H wheel with the same rim and hub that I tensioned to the max,
so I think it's plenty sufficient.
I went with 32H because this rim comes only in 32H.
I built it with cyclocross in mind, but
if there were a 28H option, I'd go with that,
and for just a front wheel, I'd even consider 24H if available.
(Of course, in those cases I'd tension each spoke more heavily.)
