Another wheel day (and so on).
Continuing from the other day. I built a rear wheel using the
Ambrosio Formula Chrono 20 rim (my former front rim).
The hub isn't a 600 but a current Record rear hub,
32-hole semi-comp four-cross lacing pattern with crossing.
The brake zone has some dents and scratches,
and the brake shoe was catching, leaving dust marks,
(the image above is after wiping with acetone, so it looks a bit better)
but since it didn't affect wheel building, I used the rim as-is.
The rim was making a rattling noise when I spun it,
but since it's a rim with eyeletted holes, there's no exit except the valve hole,
and the major axis of the machining chips was larger than the valve hole diameter,
so retrieving them was a hassle.
