A customer brought in the rear wheel from a CLX64. It's the companion to the front wheel I rebuilt yesterday.

The companion to the front wheel I rebuilt yesterday.


There's the matter of the spoke crossing angle being sharpened on the final cross on the freewheel side,
but when you use a 2:1 lacing pattern with tangent lacing on the non-freewheel side,
the non-freewheel side ends up with higher spoke tension,
and I find myself wondering if that's really ideal for a drive wheel.
The spokes were Aerolight on both sides,
but theoretically it would be better if the freewheel side were Aero Comp
when the non-freewheel side is tangent laced.

With a 16:8 24-hole rim with no offset rim holes,
if I could rebuild it with a 12:12 hub,
I'd have the confidence to build a wheel that performs even better than this.



There was some runout, but conveniently there was also some centering drift that needed adjustment on the freewheel side,



so I fixed it.
