BTW, the hubs are Milremo laced to Rigida rims. I built this up several years ago as a single speed quasi path racer, but don’t remember the specific parts.
Thanks & regards,

I wonder what the respective spoke lengths are. Per Doug's post, do both sides now take the same spoke length? On an extremely dished wheel, the drive side normally takes shorter spokes. The other argument is that 4X puts the spokes closer to tangency to the hub flange, for best strength and torque transmission.
