Another wheel day (and so on).
A customer dropped off a rear wheel from a brand called Farsports
with a carbon tubular rim.
It's fitted with a cyclocross tire,
though I'm not certain if the wheel was actually designed for cyclocross use.
However, with 28 spokes, the spoke count does suit cyclocross.
DT350 straight-pull hub, 28H
Aero spokes of unknown brand with the same weight ratio as CX-RAY and AeroLite, both sides laced with forced 2-cross.
The rotor mount is a 6-bolt specification, but
the customer wanted it rebuilt with the same hub but in centerlock specification.
Done.
Reused the spokes, and naturally the lacing pattern is the same.
Both sides had the final cross laced before the rebuild,
and it's the same after.
At least on the non-freehub side, I'll do the nippling later.
The hub box came with an adapter to convert a 6-bolt rotor to centerlock specification,
so I could reuse the original rotor.
I replaced the red aluminum nipples with new ones, different from the originals.
The typeface on this rim has a slight vibe of trying to pass itself off as FF Yamaguchi,
but it's just a sticker.
It was peeling off in places.
