Another day on wheels (and so on).
Built a front wheel on the SES (Smart Envi System) 4.5
tubular rim.
The rim's standalone model name is A48.
The SES3.4 rim from yesterday is from a slightly different era,
so its standalone model name is 42AC—
the numbers and letters are in reverse order.
For spokes, they said as long as they're black, I'm free to choose.Hehehehe.
The wheel would sell better if I laced it with CX-RAY instead of CX Sprint,
but no—I can't suppress this impulse...!
I swear I didn't steer the customer toward CX-RAY in this case.
Stop playing the artist here, just lace it normally with CX-RAY like you should.
Don't push your own preferences on people!

Black CX Sprint outpoke radial lacing.
The Smart Envi rim from yesterday had
"Handmade in USA" stickers on both sides of the valve hole,
but this one has a serial number on one side instead.
