Another day of wheel building (and so on).
It's pretty rare that I can get a wheel built during official shop hours.
This isn't something recent—it's been like this for ages.
But I've noticed a pattern: on days when I manage to build at least one wheel by 5 PM,
the wheels I build afterward seem to come together more smoothly.
Got Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1 built.
Front wheel: Evo Lite hub, 20H, all Competition inpoke radial lacing,
Rear wheel: Leaf hub, 24H, all Competition 4-cross lacing.
I'll do spoke lacing later, but not today.
Recently replaced my soldering iron tip and heat-shrink tube together,
but after just 2 or 3 uses it's no longer fresh-off-the-shelf looking.
