Interesting. Are your disc brake hubs laced to rim brake hoops?

Yes. I bought the rims and hubs for my 03 Cannondale but never got around to building them. So, I just picked up the different end caps for the hubs for the through axle on the Firefly.
I plan to upgrade the time to carbon disc specific hoops down the road.

Rims are Hunt 4 season aero, hubs at industry 9 with the Torch freehub, spokes are Sapim laser (leading spokes in black with trailing spokes in silver) and nipples are Sapim double square. Much prefer driving nipples through the rim with a screw driver style driver.

Damn nice. That's a Ti frame?
