Building Noma Lab Wheel #1

Not just today... I built a wheel yesterday too.
Even on days that are officially off, there are times when I end up building wheels,
but I should probably stop since it could be bad for my health.

The front wheel is a Leaf Hub black CX-RAY with reverse spoke radial lacing,

The rear wheel is a Leaf Hub black Comp with four-cross lacing.

Actually, black Comp spokes are a precious commodity.
Since I'm using all Comp spokes this time, I'm also using them on the non-drive side,
but long black Comp spokes just aren't consistently available.

Silver Comp comes in boxes of 100, while black Comp comes in boxes of 72.
If I only used them on the non-drive side, I could build exactly six 24H rear wheels
before running out.

Hmm, I could use the ninja technique of bulk buying (※though no such technique exists)...
