Another day working on wheels (and so on).
I received an XR200 rim from a customer.
It has spoke build marks on it and a Hope sticker attached.
I'm going to build it with this and a Hope hub that I have on hand.
All built.
The hub is a Hope
RS4 Road Hub 24H
Built semi-comp with a radial 4-cross lacing pattern.
The serrated washer-like part pressed into the end of this hub has an excellent feature:
noticeably greater thickness in its lateral width.
↑ Here's the equivalent part on a Shimano 7800 hub, but
on the 7800 and 7900 complete wheels,
this part comes loose frequently, and while there's no individual part sales,
the complete end locknut assembly is available—though
it's now discontinued.
