I know the title is stating the obvious—an internal-gear hub is a rear hub, so of course it's for the rear wheel
but here we go with wheels again (and so on).
I built a wheel using an internal-gear hub that a customer brought in
and a 700C rim that we sourced here at the shop.
The hub is a SG-5R30 internal 5-speed hub, and
the rim is an ALEXRIMS DM18 in 700C.
I'm being specific about the 700C designation
because this same rim model comes in different sizes.
36 spokes, built fully with Campagnolo cross lacing, no valve hole reinforcement.
The hub shell has a spline on the left side for mounting a roller brake,
but it's capped off with a rubber cover.
When I checked with the customer, they said they'll be using rim brakes,
so I went with the Italian (Campagnolo) lacing pattern.
