Another wheel day (and so on).
A customer brought in a disc hub with 100mm quick-release width,
and asked me to build a wheel in 26 inches with a wide rim
I built the front wheel using an ALEXRIMS Supra 35 rim.
SUPRA is Latin for "above" or "beyond,"
but the intended use of this rim
is downhill, so you could say it's more "down" in spirit.
The number 35 in the rim model name
is the external width, not the internal width.
The rim's internal width is 30mm, and the rim height is 23mm.
The hub is from a brand called ARC
model MT005.
According to the markings here,
ARC is an acronym for ADAMANT REMARKABLE CREATED,
which means something like "resolutely remarkable creation,"
but dimensionally and structurally it's a standard 6-hole disc brake mount hub.
32H, all competition lacing, reverse Italian style, no cross.
Today I was going to build a different wheel,
but I ran short on spokes,
so I tried to build yet another wheel,
but I was out of stock on those spokes too,
so this is the wheel that got built.
