Built a rear wheel with DT240 hub and 650B hookless rim

Another wheel build today (and so on).

Continuing from last time.
The front wheel used a left-hand drive hub,
but the rear wheel is a standard 142mm through-axle hub.
The bike is a Topstone, apparently,
though the current model has discontinued the AI offset spec.
Since I wasn't specifically told to offset it,
I built it normally.
If they later tell me it's actually AI offset,
it's possible to adjust it then anyway.

DT240 disc hub, 28H, black, semi-comp with 4-cross JIS lacing.
Basically black aluminum nipples, with purple aluminum nipples only on either side of the valve hole.

It's better than the Evo disc hub, but
it has reverse high-low flanges.
With semi-comp 4-cross lacing and a non-offset rim,
I centered it normally without AI offset,
and the non-freehub side turned out less loose than I expected.

Next to the valve hole there's
an instruction that says "orient the spoke coming from this hole in this direction,"
which in other words means "build it as a standard rim."
Since it's a non-offset rim there's no left-right distinction,
but anyway I built both front and rear wheels so that
when viewed from the right side, this sticker's text reads correctly.
