It's wheel day again (and so on).

I built a front wheel with an XT hub and AL22W rim.

HB-T780 32H, fully competition wheel lacing.
With the current XT as MTB components,
the quick-release hub is limited to disc brake hubs only.
Of course, XT-R only has through-axle hub specifications.
Since this is XT grade as touring components,
there's a front hub specification available for rim brakes.
