Front wheel laced and forks built and attached.  For the most part, this all went uneventful* which was nice for a change

* Only issue was a gap between the hub and the forks.  Plan was to to fit it as easily as possible (i.e. w/o disk and caliper) just so i could get an alignment check

EDIT:  Lacing the front wheel was much more of a pain than the rear.  I had to go around and tighten the spoke nipples to get the opposing spokes in rim holes.  Once i got them all in, the offset was pretty close, i just had to go around and loosen/tighten a couple spots

After talking to Greg, I tightended the forks in the correct order and installed the disk and caliper.  This seemed to help (not really those componants per se, but fully driving in the axle with all the componants attached).  Resulting gap below.  The forks seem aligned (i measured about 7.5 in at both top and bottom), so i think i'm good.  Just curious though, is this normal?   I really didn't get a good picture (or recall) before it tore it down.

Next up is checking alignment
