Another day, another wheel (and so on).
Built a front wheel using ALEXRIMS DM18 rims.
The hub is a T610-series Deore, and since it's a touring groupset,
the part number starts with T rather than M,
but the Deore groupset originally existed before the MTB category was even established,
so it's a touring-oriented groupset — in a way, we're coming full circle.
HB-T610 32H with Compé Lecroc Italian lacing.
The rim is double-walled, but
the nipple end face and rim tape are very close together,
so I was thinking about adding about -0.5mm
to the spoke length as a wobble correction,
but I didn't, and ended up flush with the rim end face.
By the way, this is a first-generation Deore crank,
and I'll bring it up again when I write about the one-key release fixing bolt
and DD pedals.
