Wheels again today (and so on).
Built a front wheel with a Tni AL22 rim.
The rim has an old-style sticker label—it's a customer-supplied part.
This is a 20H rim, but 20H is currently
in a stock shortage at the distributors that's lasted several months or more, after someone bought out all seven remaining units that were nearly sold out.
White Industries T11 hub, 20H
Black CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing with
red aluminum nipples.
Going back in the timeline a bit—the hub flange holes on the outer side only have a countersink that gives the spoke heads a better fit. So the design basically seems to be advocating that with tangent lacing, inpoke and outpoke will necessarily alternate, but with radial lacing, you should use all outpoke.
It's actually one of the rare front hubs that can handle inpoke radial lacing, since it has a structure where the lateral play that appears with inpoke radial lacing can be taken up through bearing adjustment.
