Another wheel day today (and so on).
I built up a PLANET X 20mm high carbon rim.
This is a customer's build.
It's also the third one from the "Seven Dyers" project (→here).
The wheels I built for them before are working out fine,
so they're going to use those for a while,
and they were generous with the deadline for the remaining rims.
The rim manufacturer is the same one used by a certain wheel maker,
but I can't really say much about that.
All built up.
This time too, I've used inpoke radial lacing.
When we actually mounted it on the customer's bike,
the clearance was incredibly tight,
so I asked what to do about it, and they said "inpoke,"
so I built it with inpoke radial lacing.

It's ridiculously tight! Even if the rim deflects a bit during actual riding,
the hub side should be fine, and they say there are no issues in actual use, but...
Still, building inpoke with this hub is
truly the ultimate choice for lateral stiffness on hand-built front wheels.
If the fork geometry allows it, you can understand why someone would want to try it.
Whitespace below.
I've acquired a DECISIVE image!
WH-R38 means a 38mm high rim!
Similarly, R20 refers to a 20mm high rim,
which is the PLANET X rim from this build!
The true identity of "R38" is...
Fast Forward's F4R!
Please also take a look at the image comparing it side by side with the F2R rim!
The rim cross-section profile is completely identical!
↑Stop! Don't write stuff like that!
