Wheels again today (and so on).
I built a front wheel with a 40mm deep carbon rim and a dynamo hub.
The rim depth measured 39.7mm actual,
but even with 35mm deep rims some wheels call themselves C40, so
it's fine either way.
Son Nanben hub dynamo Son Deluxe 12 hub 24H
All-black CX-RAY 4-cross reverse Italian lacing with no wiring.
It's also a center-lock disc hub,
and while there's a slight ochoco (slight dish), there's no need
for asymmetric or asymmetric spoke lacing.
The spoke lengths differed by 0.6mm in calculation,
and 1mm difference after rounding.
The rim is a tubeless rim without a hump.
If there's no hump, can you really call it a tubeless rim?
Just a recess in the rim center can be found on older models
like the Alpinist CLX which aren't tubeless-compatible, so you might say,
but this rim is a hookless rim, so
it's impossible for it to be tubeless-incompatible.
There's a protective seal on the hub shell,
because when threading spokes through the flanges
the spokes and hub shell make contact,
and this prevents scratches during that process.
The distance from the round top of the hub shell
to the left and right flanges isn't equal—
the disc brake side is narrower.
Especially the spokes at the disc flange don't slide through smoothly,
and you have to thread the spoke into the spoke hole,
but when doing that the flat part of the spoke risks rubbing on the hub shell,
so in addition to getting scraped by the threads,
protection is needed at that point too.
