Built a front wheel with the XR-31T rim

I built a front wheel using a rim and hub that a customer left with me.

The rim is a Kinlin XR-31T,
and the hub is an HB-7800 Dura-Ace with the slotted hole design.

I laced it as 18H inpoke radial.
As for the hub's bearing adjustment, the hub by itself felt a bit notchy,
but I figured it would feel just right once the spoke tension was applied,
so I went ahead and built the wheel as-is.
And that's exactly how it turned out—I ended up not adjusting it at all.
