A third set of these lovely Shimano Dura Ace hubs. I’m not great at adjusting cones so it was just as well that he wanted to take of the seal rings himself.
A radially laced Velocity Deep-V rim with 36H on the front using DT Swiss plain gauge spokes and brass nipples. A good dollop of linseed oil on the threads to help lock them. The spoke length was 258 mm.
On the rear a 32H laced 3-cross using DT Swiss Competition double butted spokes and brass nipples. If you look closely at the photograph you’ll see that it’s a black rim with glitter. I couldn’t tell which rim it was but it did respond well to tensioning so I’m assuming that it was a good one. The spoke length was 288 mm but could have been a couple of mm shorter.

You only seem to give descriptions of 36h radially or 32h 3 cross

i am going 36h with a 3x

Looking forward to building more wheels in 2009. Radial, 2-cross, 3-cross, crow's foot, hybrid crow's foot, whatever you like. Repairs and rim replacements too. I'll teach you as well if you want to learn.
