Another wheel day today (and so on).
This is a continuation from yesterday.
I built my partner's rear wheel.
Yesterday, I wrote that if I listed all the rim specifications
it would be a 35mm high hookless carbon tubeless ready rim,
but
I forgot to mention it's an offset rim.
The image above is the freewheel side.
The hub is a prime brand model
but it's DT-made, not Novatech,
and the freewheel mechanism is a star ratchet.
So the hub is 24H, semi-comp four-cross JIS laced
with gold aluminum nipples.
I'll do the tensioning later.
A 135mm quick-release with an XDR freewheel body is
extremely rare.
You can attach a 1.85mm spacer to a Shimano HG11S freewheel body
to convert it for 8, 9, 10-speed,
and convert an MTB XD to this format, but
the reverse isn't possible. So even with hubs designed for MTB,
many examples adopt an XDR freewheel body
instead of XD.
Since it seems to use the same end as DT's standard hubs,
the 135mm quick-release spec can
be changed to 142mm through-axle spec by
swapping the end(which is extremely expensive).
↑For example, this means that converting
through-axle wheels from brands like Roval or Bontrager
to quick-release spec
might not be possible.
