This is a follow-up to the front wheel I did the other day (→here).
I built the rear wheel using the 49TA rim,
which is the rear rim from the Reserve 42┃49TA rim set.
DT 350 hub, 24H, black half CX sprint
Built with 46-spoke JIS lacing and black aluminum nipples.
I'll do the spoke wrapping later.
The 42┃49 rim set both have a retail price
of ¥137,500 each, so that's ¥275,000 total.
For the manufacturer's pre-built wheelset,
if you choose a DT 350 hub,
the retail price is ¥295,900.
This makes the rim-only option seem more expensive,
but the hubs in this project differ from
the Reserve pre-built wheelset in the logo area of the 350,
and since the customer sourced them through overseas online retailers,
considering the hassle of buying a complete wheelset,
taking it apart, and rebuilding it in our shop,
going with just the rim might be the better choice after all.
Both the front and rear rims came with
tubeless tape included.
The front and rear rims have inner widths that differ by 0.8mm,
but the rim tape included is the same width for both,
so I'm planning to use the same roll for both wheels.
