Lacing 32 spokes crossed by 2 with contact

Rim Alex DA16 (336g)
Hub Shimano Alfine DH-S501 center lock (564g)
Rim tape Schwalbe plastic
Glue DT Freeze (red glue)
Weight with rim tape (without quick release) 1080g
Unique wheel yes for the moment
The best Shimano dynamo hub in black, almost the same as DH-3D72 except it is delivered with an external plug device (I don't really know what it is). As the drilling circle is limited to 70mm and the rim profile is only 20mm, I tried a crossed by 2 to maximise strength with disc use.
The rim is nicely finished, it looks strong and allows to have a total weight below 1100g.
Another wheel with brass nipples is in preparation for anybody who might ask it !
