changed my mind, today I fully assembled a rear wheel using a RS-RF3 hub instead of the Nexus-INTER-3/SG-3C41.

It weighs less (900g!!!), and from road tests it offers less friction.

My definitive choice  :D

I'm not a professional, from cutting the spokes, threading them, assembling a first draft of the wheel, and arriving at the finished and "camber-ed" wheel, it takes me almost 10 hours of work, considering 3 breaks, lunch, tea, dinner and short test on the road, so now for those of my colleagues who want to replicate the thing, I have to find an online service so I avoid spending my weekends assembling wheels for free!

Back when I paid my $200 AU pesos to get a wheel built I was charging out $65-110/hr at the time.  :-DD It is something I can see value in doing once for the experience but unless you are really geared up for it nope ;)
