Back to wheel building today (and so on).


A customer crashed and damaged the rim on the front wheel of the Nomu Lab Wheel #2,
and they left it with me for repair (rim replacement).
Since the replacement rim is on long-term backorder,
the customer sourced a different rim for me to work with.

Built it up.

I reused the old Evo hub.
I did apply fresh grease to it.
The rim height is pretty much the same before and after the rebuild,
but the nipples changed from internal to external type, so the spoke length changes.
However, the difference in length fell within the adjustment range of the CX-RAY,
so I cut the spokes to the new length with a spoke cutter and reused those as well.
Old Evo hub, 20H, CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing.
