Another wheel day (and so on...).
But before that.
The other day when I built this hub with outpoke radial lacing,
there was a reason I didn't go with inpoke radial.
The hub's instruction manual stated:
"When lacing radial or 1-cross, assemble with heads-out (elbow-in)."
Heads-out refers to the spoke heads pointing outward,
and elbow-in refers to the spoke bend facing inward toward the hub flange—
these two terms are equivalent. In this blog's terminology, that's outpoke.
Since there's no fitting Japanese term for this and it's a concept that comes up frequently in my posts,
I coined the terms "inpoke" and "outpoke."
Now, down to business.
A customer brought me a carbon rim.
↑"Outpoke" has become a generic term!
Got it built.
The Dura-Ace hub is also the customer's own component.
It's a weird lineup—they have 18H but not 20H—
I really hope they'll release a 20H version.
It's a carbon clincher rim,
and the bead ears are fairly thick, so it looks like it'll be strong against buckling.
