Back to wheels today (and so on).
Built the rear wheel to match yesterday's ADX-5 rim front wheel.
The rim is Araya's Prostaff 340.
The cyan label is Prostaff 340,
the orange label is Prostaff 400,
and the numbers indicate nominal weight—
though I forgot to actually weigh this rim.
I realized this when the wheel was already well into preliminary assembly,
so I didn't feel like disassembling it just to weigh it.
Unlike the ADX-5, this rim is a road rim,
and it actually has brake marks on the rim sides.
While I did forget to weigh the rim,
there was something else I hadn't forgotten about with both rims:
placing them against a glass surface plate,
the ADX-5 showed no warp at all—perfect,
but this Prostaff 340 had just the slightest
rattle and some distortion when tested.
However, it wasn't bad enough to prevent wheel building,
so I went ahead with assembly.
Gran Compe double-threaded fixed-gear hub, 32-hole
Full competition standard JIS lacing pattern.
I'll do the spoke wrapping later.
Since it's all-crossing on both sides,
the wrapping might take longer than the wheel building itself.
