Built a front wheel with the R470db rim

I built a front wheel with a DT R470 rim.

The hub is a Novatec D791SB,
24H black Champion / Competé Roxi with reverse Italian lacing.
I'll do the spoke end taping later.

This D791 hub is basically the same as the TNI Evo Disc II hub — it's actually the original design it's based on.
I'll be building the rear wheel too, using the D792 hub which is the counterpart to this one,
and it's also the original for the TNI Evo Disc II hub, so it has reversed high-low flanges.
Because the customer's budget won't allow for CX-RAY spokes,
I can't get much asymmetry difference, so this is shaping up to be a tricky wheel build.

Black spokes but with silver nipples.
Traditionally, DT rims had the RR (Road Racing) spec with half eyelets,
and the R (Road) spec with no eyelets,
but current RR-series rims now come with no eyelets and use washers instead.

This time the rim is an R470, which is the R-series, so washers don't come included.
