700, DT R460DB
No reason to lace an Alfine / Nexus on a 700 rim in such an esoteric way I’d have thought.
Howard-
but it worked well enough until the collision?

Out of curiosity, why SJS Cycles, when we have experienced wheelbuilders on here?

700c? No. Not 1-cross. The Alfine / Nexus has a large flange but still. I would have built it 3-cross. Perhaps 2-cross if I was using an eyeletted rim where the nipple angle wasn't quite right. Even the hub manufacturers such as Rohlhoff or Powertap recommend 2-cross.

I've built up 1-cross but only with large flange hubs laced to small rims, such as a Rohlhoff on a Moulton rim. How big is the rim?
