Built a rear wheel with a hole-free carbon rim (rear wheel, so this is the sequel)

Wheels again today (and so on).

Continuing from yesterday.
I built a rear wheel with a 40mm-tall hole-free carbon tubeless-ready offset rim.

ENVE hub with sparse-dense flange holes, 24H
Black semi-competition spokes; the lacing pattern is JIS 4-cross on paper
Black aluminum nipples.
I'll do the truing later.

The flange-hole marks are from reverse Italian lacing, and since I converted that to JIS lacing, only the freewheel side has its inpoke/outpoke orientation reversed in the flange holes.
So I'm threading outpokes through holes that have inpoke marks on the outside of the flange,
but since the depth of the inpoke marks varies from hole to hole,
whether you can tell the previous history just by looking is equally inconsistent.
