Another wheel day (and so on).

Built a rear wheel with an XR331 rim.


FH-RS770 28H black semi-competition 4-cross lacing.
I'll do the spoke wrapping later.


As I've mentioned a few times before,
DT rims have two stickers on opposite sides, and on one side
the sticker phase is offset 90° from the valve hole phase,


and on the other side the sticker aligns directly below the valve hole phase.
On RR411 rims designed for rim brakes with a brake zone,
the right side of rear-specific offset rims
is the side without a sticker at the valve hole phase.
So I interpret DT's intention as "orient the rim so the side without a sticker at the valve hole phase faces right."
The RR411db rim, which has no brake zone,
is for disc brakes and only comes in offset rim specification,
so front and rear wheels necessarily have reversed valve-and-sticker relationships.

The XR331 rim is not an offset rim, so
for both front and rear wheels I apply "the side without a sticker at the valve hole phase faces right,"


but actually, the front wheel I built the other day had the rim left-right reversed (based on my own interpretation),
and since it's a pain to disassemble the wheel and flip the rim orientation,
I moved it to a fresh new rim sitting beside it.
In other words, I've built the front wheel twice.
Today's rear wheel was built with the rim from the original front wheel.
