No gripes, just a few recommendations. The rear is heavily dished so NDS laced radially, heads out, helps to offset the side-to-side tension differential a little bit. Even better is to use to 16:8 drilling option which does a very good job of balancing the side-to-side tension with NDS laced radially. Another approach to this would be to use Velocity's offset rear rim. Don't skimp on the DS spoke tension. You need the DS spokes to be tight to get reasonable tension in the NDS. I would recommend 120 kgf on the DS.
