Built an MTB rear wheel with Crest MK3 rim (rear wheel but part one)

Another day of wheel building (and so on).

I built a rear wheel with Stan's Crest rim.

FH-RS770 28H all CX-RAY Satin Gray JIS laced with eyelets.
The RS770 hub is for disc road/cyclocross use,
but the rear hub is 142/12mm thru-axle,
so it works as an MTB rear hub even without BOOST standard spacing.
The reason I'm doing this is "because 28H hubs only exist in XTRI."
I know it sounds like I should just go with XTRI, but the price is steep...
If XT had a 28H hub option, I'd use that instead.
The front hub is 100/15mm so I can't use the RS770 hub for that,
but I'll cover that another time.
