Another day of wheel building (and so on).
A customer handed me a
20mm high so-called Chinese carbon rim, so
I built the front wheel.
The hub is a Novatec AS511, a straight-pull spoke hub,
which came from when I disassembled a front wheel
with an 88mm high rim—AchtAcht, as it's called—a while back.
Regarding the 20-hole rear hub,
I received multiple comments suggesting the White Industries T11 hub would work. Thanks for that.
I've passed the info along to the customer.
There's more to report about the AchtAcht, but I can't write about it yet.
Black CX-RAY straight spokes, forced radial lacing
with purple aluminum nipples.
