This is a Powertap SL+ hub which usees the wireless Ant+ transmission laced with bladed DT Swiss Aerolite spokes to a Kinlin XR-270 rim.

I laced the non-driveside using a standard 3x pattern, and I used a 1x all heads-in pattern for the driveside.  The Powertap’s strain gauges are mounted around the axle and as a result the hub transfers drive torque to teh non driveside flange.  The 1x driveside pattern helps to increase the non-driveside spoke tension.  Also, the center-flange measurements for the Powertaps hubs are not very good so the 1x pattern effectively widens this side of the hub and increases lateral stiffness.

All up the wheel is 1010g.
