reused my jig for another rim, now with slightly angled holes (notice yellow doorstopper...)
for a 12 spoke wheel (...actually 30 spokes in groups)
Ingredients:
DT swiss 350 front disc hub
Kinlin xr31 rim (from superstarcomponents Arc31DISC)
5 different spoke lengths/types, could probably get it down to 3 on a rebuild.
heat shrink tubing
I'm going to redo the heat shrink used for the
fairingserhhm structural spoke support.It turned out much thicker than expected so probably not very aero. Sort of defeats the whole purpose of the build :)
I have found another type with thinner walls and less shrinkage. Will also end up neater 2. time round.
The whole wheel seems very solid but I haven't tested it yet.
