A customer dropped off a Tni tubeless-ready carbon rim and
an Evolite hub for me to work with, so
I built up the wheel. Today I only got the front wheel done.
Going back a bit in the process—the rim is an Equinox WH260,
a tubeless-ready rim with a subtle hump.
I built it up with the Evolite 20H hub using CX-RAY spokes in a radial lacing pattern.
There's a sticker saying not to position the brake shoes at the top of the bead hook,
but the rim's cosmetic sticker is positioned toward the outer edge, so
the brake shoe positioning might be pretty tight.
↑Is that clearer? The brake shoe position is quite limited.
With dual-pivot brakes, the contact point between the brake shoes and rim changes
as the shoes wear, but with this narrow margin, as the shoes wear down from new,
it looks like I'll need to readjust the shoe position at least once.
