Another wheel build today (and so on).
Built a wheel using a Ganwell carbon WO rim.
Front wheel: Chris King R45 hub, 20H, all Champion #15 outpoke radial lacing,
Rear wheel: R45 hub, 24H, all Champion lacing, 2x pattern, no cross-lacing.
Even though it's "all Champion,"
the freewheel side uses #14,
and the non-freewheel side uses #15—making it a left-right asymmetric gauge build.
Due to spoke length considerations, butted spokes—whether round or flat—are hard to source,
so I went with plain gauge spokes.
Used brass nipples.
For simple truing, there's no problem,
but when spoke replacement becomes necessary, you need to remember that
the nipple sizes alternate.
As mentioned in the title: 38mm depth, actual measured weight 311g.
The nominal weight is 320g for this carbon WO rim.
By the way, I forgot to mention something important about this rim,
It's an ETRTO 451mm 20-inch WO rim.
