Another day, another wheel (and so on).
Built a wheel using a Kinlin XR200 rim.
It's a customer's own rim, not from our shop stock.
The hubs are equivalent to Tni Evo hubs (though technically this version is the original) — Novatech 482 front and 291 rear.
The rear wheel is half-comp Italian 46-spoke laced with outpoke on the freewheel side,
and the front is CX-RAY inpoke radial laced.
If it were my own wheel, I'd always use inpoke for radial lacing unless the design made it impossible,
but since over 99.9% of the radial-laced wheels out there with standard hooked spokes are built outpoke,
I figured it'd be pushy for the minority to insist on their way,
so I only use inpoke when the customer specifically requests it
(I don't bring it up myself as an option).
But lately, it's been happening a lot.
