Another wheel day (and so on).

A customer left a wheel with me.

The rim is an ENVE 1-65, the hub is a 7900,
all CX-RAY spokes in a 46-hole lace pattern with crossed lacing.
I built this one in the past, but it wasn't originally built at our shop.
The last time I rebuilt it, I had the Pillar nipples (2nd generation) reversed.
This rebuild was needed to switch to a Shimano 11-speed compatible hub.
I'm using a Leaf Hub for this one.

Built it.

Semi-competition 46-hole lace pattern.
Not quite at the level of my Noma Lab Wheel No. 3, but with a rim this tall at 65mm,
if you tension the spokes properly, the spoke deflection becomes
almost completely rigid.


I cleaned the sprocket.
The teeth are pretty worn down.
Not sure if it'll be used again,
but I just can't help myself—I had to clean it anyway.
