Rebuilt the front wheel for WH-R8170-C36

Another day working on wheels (and so on).

A customer brought in the front wheel of an Altegra C36 for us to work on.
We had sourced two front wheels for the shop and rebuilt one as a rear wheel.
This is the other one that came as stock, and now the customer wants us to rebuild this one too.

What is this sticker doing here?!

The rim tape is still the stock spec too.

Rebuilt it.

Completely disassembled the wheel,
swapped the nipples for DT's black aluminum nipples,
kept the left-side spokes as-is but changed to a final-crossover lacing pattern,
and changed the spoke count on the right side and re-laced it.

Since we completely took apart the wheel,
we had the chance to weigh the rim
