I Rebuilt the Tni Dragon 50 Tubular Wheel (Part 2: Rear Wheel)

Another wheel day (and so on...).

Continuing from yesterday's front wheel.
I'm rebuilding the rear wheel on the Tni Dragon 50.

Dragon Wheel Original
Straight spoke left-right hook-style flange hub, 24H
All-black CX-RAY four-cross equivalent build.

I said "four-cross equivalent" because
I interpreted this freewheel-side two-cross build as
a four-cross "equivalent."

RIMG2733amx15.jpg
The non-freewheel side is radial laced, but
everyone should know by now that radial lacing
on the non-freewheel side of equal-spoke-count wheels
is a bad idea—that was settled back in the 20th century!
So why make a wheel like this after 2015 (the year this wheel came out)?!

So I rebuilt it.

660 hub, 24H, black semi-competition four-cross build.
I'll do the truing later.

By the way, this Dragon 50 wheel
only comes supplied as a complete assembled wheel,
so the only time you get to measure the rim's actual weight
without damage is when rebuilding.
So very few people know the actual weight.
I did measure both front and rear rims,
but I have no intention of telling the people reading this.
↑what a jerk this guy is
