Built a front wheel for the Tni ROAD35 TL

A customer left me a Tni tubeless-ready carbon rim and
an Evolite hub, so

I built the wheel. Today it's just the front wheel.

Getting the timeline straight—the rim is an Equinox WH260,
a tubeless-ready rim with a subtle hump profile.

Evolite hub 20H, built CX-RAY outpoke radial.

There's a sticker saying not to set the brake shoe position at the bead hook top,
but the rim's cosmetic sticker is positioned farther toward the outer edge, so

setting the shoe position might be tricky.

↑Does this make it clearer?
The brake shoe position is pretty constrained.
With dual-pivot brakes, the contact point between the shoe and rim shifts
as the shoe wears down, but with this narrow window,
it looks like I'll need to readjust the shoe position at least once
as the pads wear in from new.
