Another day of wheel building (you know the drill).
Built a wheel with an AL22W rim.
Front wheel: HB-6800 Ultegra 32H, fully bladed cross with Italian lacing,
Rear wheel: AC Standard 130 hub 32H
fully bladed cross with JIS lacing and no cross-lacing on the drive side.
When you hear "AC," old-school MTB riders might think of Adventure Components,
and for hubs specifically, American Classic comes to mind,
but this is a hub from All-City (オールシティ), a fixed gear bike specialist brand.
You can tell All-City's freehub bodies are made by Novatech from the anodizing color of the freebody and the finish of the end nuts, and similarly, this hub's end nut knurling and flange lightening patterns show it's a Novatech A166SBT hub with a different logo.
Over-locknut dimensions come in
120mm for standard track rear hubs and
130mm for Standard 130 rear hubs,
and this hub is the latter.
The dual-threaded sprocket seats can be
either stepped on both sides for fixed cog use, or
configured with one side for freewheel use.
Standard track comes in three versions: 32H fixed/fixed, 32H fixed/free, and 36H fixed/free,
but Standard 130 comes only in the 32H fixed/free configuration.
Since I laced it with JIS lacing, I was accounting for either seat configuration,
and when the AC logo is upright, the right side is the fixed cog seat,
and the opposite is the freewheel seat.
Went with gold aluminum nipples.
I forgot to take a photo to caption that detail and only remembered after I'd already mounted the tire.
