Wheels again today (and so on).
Built a front wheel with an AL22W rim.
660 hub, 20H, CX-RAY spokes, radial lacing on the non-drive side.
Just the other day, I bought up a bunch of these
six60 (Six Sixty) front hubs — the ones I've been casually calling the "660" hub —
and while I was talking to the parts distributor on the phone about that
(though the fact that I bought them all up never came up in conversation),
I noticed the distributor was calling this hub
"Shiku roku-ju" instead.
Well, not that it really matters.
The model name comes from the rear hub's freewheel body having 6 pawls
and the hub shell's ratchet ring having 60 teeth.
Which means the front hub has no connection to the naming logic whatsoever.
