Another day, another wheel (and so on).
Continuing from last time.
I'm rebuilding the rear wheel on the Alpinist CLX II.
I'll go into more detail later, but unlike the front wheel,
the rear wheel uses a redesigned rear hub compared to
the CLX 50, and the spoke crossing angle is improved.
Rebuilt.
On the non-drive side, I switched from an Aero Lite to
a CX Sprint, but because the spoke head flanges are
positioned fairly far apart, combined with a 1-cross pattern
and the final crossing being quite close to the hub,
the lacing gets really tight. So I decided against forcing it.
The Aero Lite on the drive side also didn't have the final crossing
laced, so I rebuilt it to include that crossing and then
tied the spokes off.
