I felt smug with a stached pair of wheels paid less than half the cost of the rear hub.
The only down side were 2mm plain gauge spokes.
The tensionmeter seems to vouch for an equal applying of moderate tension,
my eyes are tired of trying to spot any untrueness anywhere.
I've only just spotted the rear lacing patern, it's 2 cross both sides!
Went to check on Sheldon ,2 cross lacing isn't mentioned.
Road use, rim brake, 32 spokes 70kg +10 on rear rack.
Can I roll for one or two weeks ?
My new commute from Monday is 60 miles, I would welcome lighter wheels.
