Wheels again today (and so on).
Built a front wheel with an Araya small-diameter rim.
The rim is the SP-30, which is a single-wall rim, but
just because it's single-wall doesn't mean it's cheap—
looking at the precision of the seams and the thickness of the plating,
it's actually quite carefully made.
To be honest, it has finer finishing
than the current track racing rims.
The hub is a Campagnolo C-Record 32H in brand new condition with no truing marks,
the spokes are #15 plain Champion,
and I built it 6x6 Italian style.
Because it's a single-wall rim,
I probably could have gone with spokes that were 1mm shorter.
The spoke length is dead flush—absolutely perfect.
