Built a front wheel with an AL22W rim

Another wheel day (and so on).

I built a front wheel with an AL22W rim.

660 hub, 20H, CX-RAY outpoke radial laced.

Just the other day, I picked up a bunch of these
six60 front hubs (which I've been calling the "660" hub on my own),
and during that time I had a chance to talk with the distributor over the phone
(we didn't even get into the subject of me buying them all out).
During that conversation, the distributor's side
was calling this hub the "shikku-rokujuu."
Well, not that it matters much.

The model name comes from the fact that the rear hub's freebody pawls number 6,
and the hub body's ratchet ring has 60 teeth.
In other words, the front hub has no elements related to the naming origin.
