Star hub 20H black CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing
with black aluminum nipples.

I've mentioned this rim before,
but it's a tubeless-ready wide rim.

Star rear hubs only come in 24H,
and making other hole counts seems difficult due to the flange geometry on the freewheel side.

Both front and rear rims are customer-supplied parts,
and the rear rim is an offset rim version—a different variant.
That's fine, but...







This rim is 28H, you see.

Even the Star hub is left speechless by this.
