Back to wheel building today (and so on).
Continuing from yesterday. I built the rear wheel.
FH-9000 24H semi-comp 4-cross lacing.
I'll do the spoke tie-in later.
The outer holes are drilled with proper centering, but
if you're just passing nipples through, the hole drilling doesn't really affect the work either way, so
unless it's a rim specifically designed for internal nipples, there's not much point in adding the drilling.
You could interpret it as a message saying "since we drilled it this way, treat it as a proper rim," though.
The spokes and lacing pattern differ between left and right,
but the spoke length on both sides came out flush with the end face of the nipple.
When building a wheel,
I don't trust the nominal rim support length—I measure it myself.
If I had trusted it, I would've been in real trouble.
