Another day of wheel building (and so on).
Continuing from yesterday, I built the front wheel.
I went with a 4-cross lacing pattern using an Evolite hub 32H with CX-RAY spokes.
Since it's a small flange, I thought about doing a 4-on-4 pattern instead—
with tangential lacing it would give a spoke angle pretty close to radial,
and I considered that, but ultimately just went with my original plan.
The rim's sticker is seriously cool-looking,
but the adhesive residue left after peeling isn't too bad—
I let the customer know they won't run into any major problems if they peel it off themselves later.
For now, they've decided to keep it on as-is.
