Continuing from the other day.
I received a front wheel built with a White Industries H2 hub from a customer.
All-black Campagnolo Record JIS lacing.
If we consider the side of the hub body with the bearing adjustment hole as the virtual left side,
the hub body logo ends up upside down, but
with JIS lacing, the spoke positional relationship doesn't change even if left and right are flipped, so the performance is the same.
Based on the rim label direction, rim tape printing orientation, and how the quick release is threaded,
it seems this was built with the hub body hole treated as the virtual right side (prioritizing the hub logo orientation).
Unlike the rear wheel, the spoke length is just right.
The tension is a bit loose, but since this is for cyclocross,
it's possible they intentionally did this.
I don't personally build cyclocross or brevet wheels loose like this.
An inspection and retensioning would have been fine, but
it ended up needing to be rebuilt.
Since future use isn't limited to cyclocross,
radial lacing is fine too.
28H black CX-RAY aero spokes, radial lacing.
Since it's radial lacing, there's no performance-based left-right distinction like before, but
on the rear wheel, when the valve is at the top and viewed from behind
this sticker, applied across the rim seam as a finish cover, is readable in the correct orientation,
so I built the front wheel to match, positioning the hub body hole on the left side.
In other words, I built it with the hub body logo upside down.
