Co worker laced some to project 321 hubs. You have to slowly slowly bring em up to tension. Spoke calc needs to be dialed. The rim is kinda weird/noodly with no hub attached.
Zipp 3Zero Moto rims and Berd spokes would be an interesting experiment. I'm using Race Face carbon rims with Berd spokes and the ride quality is great - distinctly smoother, yet still precise. Maybe the Zipp rims would be a step too far and either precision would be compromised or the rim could be unstable under high lateral loads - or maybe it would be the smoothest wheelset available.
Apart from that weak ass 30t that is a seriously bitchin' build
Yeah I could definitely go bigger on the front ring especially with that pie plate cassette. Serious climbs for me locally, and I’m not the strongest guy ascending, but I’ll probably throw a 32 or 34 up front soon.

You definitely notice a flex in turns at speed, but it’s a good flex. Kinda contours to the trail when railing. Confidence inspiring for sure.
The wheel builder was on the phone, back and forth, with a sram tech for like an hour while building. He did stress the importance of proper tension. Feels great so far.
