Another day of wheel building (and so on).
But first—
Colima has a 20H rear wheel with asymmetrical spoke count on left and right, which in proportion is a 3:2 build.
The freewheel side can't be built radial with 3 spokes, but in reality it's constructed from a 180° phase pattern of 6:4, repeated twice to make 12+8 = 20H.
A rear wheel from a brand called Topolino took this same concept and made it into a 30H wheel by using a 120° phase range with 6:4 repeated three times, creating 18+12 = 30H.
To be precise, Colima used radial on the non-freewheel side, while Topolino used tangential lacing on both sides.
Also worth mentioning—Topolino's spokes were made of Kevlar and adjustable via nipples.
This 30H spoke count is pretty unique; you don't see it elsewhere.
Other examples of unusual counts include Mavic's Helium front wheel with 26H
（one side at 13H—being odd and prime, naturally radial laced）,
and Campagnolo's Electron and its derivatives like Neutron and Hyperon with 22H,
which come in multiple models
（one side at 11H—being odd and prime, naturally radial laced）.
I think I've written before that these are unique spoke counts you don't see elsewhere,
but I was mistaken about the 22H.
Colima makes a 22H rim for rim brake use.
It's a spoke count that doesn't even exist on Colima's pre-built wheel low-profile rim model, the "Inium,"
so it seems the 22H was prepared specifically for servicing Hyperon or modifying Neutron.
Anyway, another day of wheel building (and so on).
A customer left me with a Colima 32 rim in 22H configuration.
"32" is a model name derived from rim height,
and there are also rims with different heights in the same naming scheme—"47" and "58"—but amazingly, the catalog lists 22H versions of these rims too.
Update:
Someone asked in the comments whether the rim was tubular or clincher,
so I dug this image out from my unpublished photos.
It's tubular.
The rim holes have quite an extreme offset pattern,
but this is correct spoke hole positioning.
By the way, for the older generation Inium Plus rim before it went wide
（→here）
The hub I received at the same time is from Fulcrum's Racing Light—essentially Fulcrum's version of Hyperon.
The front hub spoke count is 22H, same as Hyperon.
Four black CX Sprint spokes are threaded through for checking spoke length,
and once those four went in, my shop's inventory of black 310mm straight CX Sprint spokes was completely depleted.
As mentioned in the previous post, spokes came back in stock,
so I can resume wheel building from here.
I thought about just handing it to the customer with 4 black spokes and 18 silver ones,
but that would've meant redoing work, and there were signs back then that spokes would restock quickly,
so this sat waiting like this.
Built it.
Thank you so much for your patience.
22H black CX Sprint straight forced radial laced.
Last year I had a photo of weighing just the rim before the temporary 4-spoke build,
but I can't find it right away, so I disassembled and reshot it.
I didn't do this with any intention of teaching the people reading this,
by the way.
↑ whoa, that's kind of a jerk move
So~rry for the wait!
Plea~se check out this image~!
↑ stop it nooow!
