(excerpt)...built a wheel.

It's been a while since wheel #4.

Front wheel is CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing,


and the rear wheel is semi-competition 4-cross lacing.
I was told I could lace it however I wanted, but I didn't leave any slack.

I'd like to build one front wheel for myself with a TB-25 rim, but...

Right now I've got five Continental Competition tubular tires in 22C and two in 19C,
and there are stretching requests, so my stretcher-Y has tires stuck on it constantly these days.
I can mount the 22C without a stretcher myself,
but customers find it difficult, so after stretching I move them to a tubular rim (a dedicated rim for that)
and keep them stretched right up until delivery time.
(If you take them off the stretcher and leave them sitting, they'll shrink back a bit)
