Another day, another wheel build (and so on).
A customer entrusted me with an SES3.4 rear rim that was originally used to build a rim brake rear wheel.
The rim model number is "A45" — it's a tubular rim.
They want me to use this to build a disc brake front wheel.
Since this is from before the era when brake zones had file finishing applied,
reassembling it as a disc brake front wheel doesn't look odd at all.
Chris King R45D hub, 24-hole
Black half CX sprint 46-spoke lacing, reverse Italian cross pattern.
I'll do the spoke wrapping later.
