I Built a Keirin Front Wheel (It's the front wheel, but that's not really why—Part 1)

Another day, another wheel (and so on).

I built a front wheel for keirin racing.

The rim is an Araya 16B Gold, 36H radial lacing per JIS standard—
this is a fixed requirement for keirin racing wheels.
What isn't fixed is
the hub being a Duraace 7600 (there are other NJS-approved hubs),
and the spokes being Hoshi Aero SB (there are also round butted options).
I built a wheel with the exact same spec a little while back,

but this time I'm building it up from a brand new hub.
