Another day with wheels (and so on).
Built up an Ambrosio Chrono 20 rim with current Record hubs.
The rim arrival was delayed, but the hub arrival was even later.
The rear wheel would be 32H 48-spoke lacing, but it's a low-profile rim where that doesn't work,
so I'm doing 46-spoke lacing instead. The spokes are semi-competition grade.
Then when I went to build the front wheel, there was something that bothered me.
The bearing adjustment nut, which is positioned on the left side on the rear hub
relative to the direction where the hub lettering is readable, is on the right side here.
It bothered me, so I removed the axle and switched the left and right sides.
Front wheel is built up too.
About the Atlanta rim wheel from the other day—
I intentionally didn't post a front wheel photo here.
Campagnolo hubs prohibit radial lacing, so even though it's the customer's request,
if I post an image of a radially-laced front wheel, there are occasional people
who'll call me out on that point.
↑The outer edge of the Campagnolo Record hub flange holes
has a shape that allows the spoke heads on the non-drive side to seat nicely.
