Build time. If you've got everything to hand then 45 mins working at speed with single layered rim or sealed double layer. Normal pace is just over an hour and around 90 mins for deep section rims when you have to feed each nipple with a guide. The P & K Lie stand makes truing a bit faster with no loss of precision. Funky patterns such as crow's foot or snowflake take a bit longer. Most I can do in a day is six i.e. three sets. But I don't like to rush as if you make mistakes then you have to backtrack which takes even more time.
