700c road wheel with SON Delux 12 – center lock disc – 12x100mm generator hub
David (rusa)
Rim is a DT Swiss RR 411 db Asymmetric black disc road rim with 28 spokes.
I built this and used a dish tool and tension meter. I rode it about 1000 feet to de-tension the spokes. It has never been on an actual ride. I built it for a Specialized Diverge that I bought and recently sold. I don’t need this. It is brand new in perfect condition. I was careful not to scratch the rim with the spook ends when building it. The only imperfection is a very small area where the sticker got scraped off while mounting a tire.
This wheel has a 12mm through axle. You can purchase an adapter to use this wheel with a skewer.
The disc rotor is NOT included.
I paid $390 for the parts and shipping. I am selling it for the same price, no charge for the build.

"I rode it about 1000 feet to de-tension the spokes."
What do you mean by this? Like it initially made clicking/tinkling sounds as it bore weight on this short first ride?

When a wheel is new, the spokes should be de-tensioned. There are a few ways to do this. One is to put a load on it (a ride) and the spokes might click/tink as they settle into position. After you do this, you confirm that the wheel is still true by adjusting spokes if needed. This process can be done several times.
