Thanks to the CR members who helped me sort out the Hi-E wheelset, bought from another CR member, which I installed on my recently rebuilt Cuevas. Top quality American road parts are relatively rare, but I like to use them on American frames whenever possible.
Now another question. I have (obtained a while back from a CR member of course) a Hi-E front wheel with Hi-E hub, Hi-E rim, and I assume Hi-E spokes. It is 2x. But there are no spoke nipples in the usual sense, no place to use a conventional spoke wrench. Does anyone know how the heck one goes about tensioning this wheel? I obtained at the same time an unbuilt Hi-E rim. Could these rims be built with conventional spokes? Any clue where one would find a spoke length chart for Hi-E rims?
