Have you tried Kinlin tl-23?-> http://www.bikehubstore.com/product-p/tl23.htm
Is it good? I like the look of the rounded shape
Superstar Tactic AM Rim is the same rim -> http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/superstar-tactic-am-rim.htm

(your old one or another sample?) Sounds bad. The quality varies alot so I guess it is a lottery.
Do you have a picture?thanks for the heads-up

... put your custom disc fork on it!

Silly/advanced wheel build:
Front disc wheel with 16 paired spokes
Parts:
Shimano m758 32h 15mm disc hub
Halo aerowarrior 32h rim, drilled with new internal holes.
DT Swiss New Aero spokes + oversized washer + brass nipples
Impro 15mm -> 9mm axle (until I get a better one)
It has a 1 cross disc side/1.25 cross non-disc side spoke pattern. This combined with the very solid m758 hub should give equal braking torque to both sides of the wheel (did some calculations :)) so I still have 8 leading spokes resisting the brake forces.
The spokes are laced head-in on the disc side and head-out on non-disc side. The rim is drilled slightly offset. This moves the wheel dishing offset back from 5.5mm to something like 1.5mm.The tighter spoke spacing means the wheel is only useable with slim hydraulic brake calipers, but as a plus the wheel is nearly dishless.
Internal nipples because reasons. (actually saves something like 1 watt of aero drag at 30mph...)Impressions after 2 weeks of use:
Seems solid enough. Slightly flexier side-to-side/lateral than my previous wheel (24 of the same spokes in normal lacing on the same rim).
Braking torque resistance should be the same because of larger flanges, but is hard to judge (feels the same). -
American Classic 420 Aero rim
Dodgy page: -> http://www.topfun.com/en/rims/2535-american-classic-420-aero-3-700c-rim-18-holes.html
-
But the drive/non-drive side with lowest drag is also going to have the highest sideforce (lift). So you have just disproved Felt's theory :)
-
Will the spokes hit the caliper? Yes - yes they will. :)
-
Anyone have a spare TRP Hylex left lever? With or with out the caliper + hose

Y8LW98020 Resin Pad (G02A)
Y8JZ98020 Metal Pad (G03S)
Y8LW98040 Resin Pad (J02A) Finned
Y8LW98030 Metal Pad (J04C) FinnedResin is quieter (but disappears faster in rain and grit)
does it look like this:

@dancing james What is the caliper name?
-
ah ok
99% of front disc hubs are offset. Sorry...
-
?
We were talking about shimano hubs before that..... -
these are good -> marathon racer evo 26 1.5"

If tyre markings looks like the right one it could be faster in reverse... :)However an interesting discovery was made with the GP tyres. These tyres have a directional tread pattern with some directional channeling. Therefore it was decided to test this tyre in both rotational directions (Dir-1 & Dir-2 in the graphs) to see any influence on the results, in particular in the separation point. Interestingly the reverse direction (Dir-1) offered the best aerodynamic performance.

You dont really need the angles. If you draw a triangle (axle <-> first bolt hole <-> second bolt hole) where the sides are the right length it will fit.
Probably cryptic explanation: (look at front drawing)
For the front:
First draw 2 circles with the same center: radius 87,32mm and radius 49,74mm
then pick any spot on inner circle (= first bolt hole) to use as center and draw a circle with radius 51mm.
Where this crosses the outer circle = second bolt hole

looks like it is from here :)

--Not sure if u-shape rims though ?
Rim width : 20.5mm
Not likely

edit:ok says it uses road cranks + looks tight so probably difficult
