Wheels again today (and so on).
A customer dropped off a carbon WO rim for me to work with.
It's a rim with that familiar sticker, but this time it's Meccanico rather than LWC.
There's another white sticker on it that says,
"Position the brake shoe contact point to the inner side of this line."
For a WO rim, it has a pretty wide rim width and a thick bead hook as well,
so it looks like it has excellent lateral stiffness.
Rims like this tend to be heavy, but...
↑It's quite light.
Considering it's a WO rim, the height-to-weight ratio is exceptionally good.
There's virtually no aluminum rim at the same 50mm height that weighs this little,
so aside from braking performance, it outperforms aluminum rims in pretty much every way.
The spoke tension can be tensioned just like aluminum rims too.
It's built.
There's no front wheel. Just the rear wheel is needed.
Gold-colored aluminum nipples, per the customer's request.
Campagnolo Record hub, black Competizione 48-spoke laced with reinforcing.
The rim weight is already posted elsewhere, so
Something random just happened to pass through, so please ignore it.
