Rebuilt the WH-R8170 front wheel as a rear wheel

Another wheel day (and so on).

A customer dropped off two front wheels from a WH-R8170-C50.

One of them already has a tire and disc rotor installed
and shows signs of use, but

the other wheel is also a front wheel, completely unused.
Guess they accidentally ordered two front wheels? (playing dumb)
Well, I guess I'll just rebuild it as a rear wheel then— (deadpan)

Got it built up.

Revo disc hub, 24-hole, black semi-competition spokes, JIS laced.
I'll wire it up later.

Originally I was planning to go with black nipples,
but we suddenly decided to do a rainbow color pattern (VAS lacing) instead.

Also, I completely spaced on weighing the rim.
Oh well (there will be other chances).
