Another wheel build today (and so on).
Continuing from yesterday.
With a 25mm high tubeless rim without holes
I built a disc brake rear wheel.
The hub is a PowerWay 24-hole hub with a 6-bolt rotor mount
Built in a semi-competizione 4-cross pattern with turquoise aluminum nipples.
I'll do the lacing later.
Just like the front hub,
the left flange on the side with the 6-bolt rotor mount
has offset-phase flange holes.
The front wheel is a 6-cross pattern, so the offset-phase flange side has 4 spokes,
but the rear wheel is a 4-cross pattern, so the offset-phase flange side has 6 spokes,
and the spoke neck is slightly catching on the non-offset spoke head.
This level of contact isn't a problem, but more than that...
Going back in time, this is an image from when I was threading the spokes,
but on this hub, both the left and right flanges have
slot holes designed for flat spokes,
and on the non-freewheel side, the slot direction is
oriented radially inward, so
there's no problem there, but...
On the freewheel side, of all things,
the slot is cut oriented roughly to one side tangentially.
Either way, I won't be doing it, but a 6-cross pattern seems impossible.
Looking at the finished wheel from the left side,
viewing the non-offset spokes from inside the right flange
↑it looks like this.
If I were to build with #15-based spokes,
when tension is applied, the spoke neck might
fit into the slot.
To play it safe regarding this risk, doing a radial or 2-cross pattern on the freewheel side would
also create other problems, so I can't do that either.
