Another day, another wheel (and so on).
A customer left me with a current-generation Record 32H black hub.
It's basically the same spec as the previous generation silver hub,
but the differences are that the grease hole has been eliminated and the hole count is now 32H only.
I'm using this to build Nomu Lab Wheel #5.
The front hub's bearing cone adjustment nut was mounted on the left side when viewed from the logo,
so I took it apart and swapped the left and right sides.
That alone would just be my personal preference unrelated to performance,
but I felt some scraping during rotation, so when I took it apart
the dust seal had come out of its groove and was the culprit.
The bearings themselves have no issues.
All assembled.
Front wheel: 32H full competition Rotor Italian lacing,
Rear wheel: 32H full competition Yonpachi Italian lacing.
