Another day, another wheel (and so on).
I built a front wheel for Dahon, the small-wheel bike brand.
The rim is an aluminum rim marked "Silver Rock,"
ETRTO 305mm 16-inch HE rim.
The hub is from Ridea, the brand famous for
non-circular chainrings and big pulleys.
It's a Dahon-specific front hub with an
over-locknut dimension of 74mm.
20H, black #15 spokes, reverse semi-radial lacing.
I used Sapim Leader plain spokes, but
I was originally planning to use DT's plain spokes,
the Champion, but black #15 wasn't in
the distributor's regular stock,
so I went with Sapim Leader instead.
Lengths like 306mm or 315mm—if they'd just
keep one size in stock that assumes you have a spoke cutter,
that would be enough. By the way, the black #15 Leader this time
is only available from the distributor in 310mm.
