Update, My £9 20h ebay front hub is here (I’m sure it’s reliable and strong enough for my planned radial lacing), My cheapo Novatec special is here, I have the spokes to build the front up, but like a genius I ordered the wrong length for the rear, I’m building another wheelset when I have spare time this week So I might make a start on the front Ambrosio this weekend.
Next question plaguing my mind is what width Rim tape for when I’m done, it’s 19mm internal so should I opt for 21mm for a bit of bead overlap or 25mm to be extra sure (and probably end up with a crinkly mess on the first go)…
