Finally finished my bling bling carbon wheels. Bit of a tricky wheelset, but hopefully they'll be worth it. Should be just over 1.3 Kg for the pair, and the rear should feel nice and responsive.
Tune hubs laced to 48mm deep carbon clincher rims. Front radial with 2.2mm bladed spokes. Rear triplet with 2.5mm bladed spokes. The drive side have 16 3x spokes and the non-driveside 8 1x spokes.
Had to partially un-lace the rear and re-lace after a bit feck up. Actually thought my rear spokes were all too short. Which would have left me a bit buggered as repeating my calculations kept giving me the same lengths. Turns out I just needed to move my driveside trailing spokes around one rim hole.
Internal nipples with washers were a massive PITA the thread, but very nice to true (after I had dremel'd the holes to fit my spanner.
Rear hub drillings need some dremel treatment for my 2.5mm rear bladed spokes.
Photos later.....
