I hadn't thought of that, I was probably distracted by the monostay.

I have some clearance to play with, although not as much as I thought, I'd forgotten the new rim is wider than the existing one. I'll have to check how much wider the tyre will be.

I have plenty of experience building conventional wheels, but the motor hub in a 405 rim is different enough that I started considering other possibilities ... The spokes should be here in a couple of days, I guess I'll decide one way or another once I start lacing - I can always take them out and start again.
