Another day of wheel building (et cetera).
A customer entrusted me with a 35mm tall hookless
carbon tubeless ready rim.
I listed all the specs, but aside from the obvious points,
just saying "35mm tall hookless rim" is enough.
Since I don't know the rim's provenance,
it doesn't seem to interest certain internet commenters obsessed with published weight measurements,
so I can reveal the rim weight first.
There are various approaches to this,
but when building both front and rear wheels with two rims of the same spoke count,
I use the lighter one for the rear wheel.
Built it.
The hub is a Novatec D791 24H
with the monochrome logo instead of the red and white striped one
(the "-CL" at the end means centerlock rotor interface)
Half CX sprint 64-cross laced in reverse Italian style
with gold aluminum nipples.
I'll do the tie-and-glue later.
Measured specs: rim height 35mm, internal width (hookless) 24mm,
external width 30.5mm.
