Built the wheel yesterday. As is common for me I made a mistake first time around (swapped the long and short spokes) so I had to rebuild the wheel.
My girlfriend told me she was in awe at my patience. Then she told me to stop and get to bed.
But now I do have a new rear wheel for the tandem!
Parts:
It's (
not) a featherweight at 4560 gram (!) (
~10 lbs).
Next up is actually installing the wheel on the bike and seeing how it rides.
I might replace the tyre with a pair of Grand Bois Hêtre's in white but that will depend on what I do with the rest of the bike in the future. The Schwalbe's are fine tyres and just €13 around here so they are one of the cheapest options in 650B VS. the €50 per tyre for the GB's.
Impossible to center with the spokes swapped so I had to unbuild and rebuild the wheel
