Built a wheel with a 50mm high tubeless ready rim (rear wheel, so this is part 2)

Another day of wheelbuilding (and so on).

Continuing from yesterday.
Considering the height-to-weight ratio accounting for rim width,
I'd say this rim is unusually light,
but apparently it's not off-the-shelf—it's a custom order.
And out of the five they made, they pulled the lightest one for me.
After seeing the front wheel article, the wheel's owner
called me up, and
apparently they're already tweeting on social media saying "that's mine!"
So I told them I'd embed a specific keyword in the rear wheel article
to confirm it's really theirs,
and that's the one at the top.

It's built.

Cyber rear hub, 24-hole, black half-comp, 4-cross lacing pattern.
I'll do the tensioning later.

With the front hub, following the instructions means the hub shell lettering ends up upside down,
but with the rear hub, even though there are no instructions, the freewheel body
determines the left-right orientation before you even start building the wheel.
Unlike the front hub, the hub shell lettering isn't upside down.
