Another wheel day (and so on).
I built a rear wheel using an ALEXRIMS R390 rim.
20-inch WO, ETRTO 451mm rim.
Evo disc hub, 32H, black strong / #15 leader
4-cross JIS lacing, no cross-ties.
I wanted to do 8-cross lacing, but because the rim diameter is so small,
the inpokes looked like they'd hit the outpoke spoke heads, so I decided against it.
The image above shows a test lacing using spokes cut to 8-cross length,
and there's a decent chance the path would improve slightly,
but it was certain that the lace path would still contact the spoke heads,
so I gave up on 8-cross altogether.
↑The actual build (6-cross) looks like this
↑Freewheel side: strong (#13 gauge at the neck, #14 single-butted from there on)
↑Non-freewheel side: leader (#15 plain)
There's a huge difference in the clearance of the flange holes opposite to the spoke direction.
