Wheels again today (and so on).
A customer left me with a Powertap hub.
32 holes.
It has build marks on it, so it's not brand new, but the condition is extremely clean.
When doing the rebuild, it looks like they swapped in a new Shimano 11-speed freebody,
and since the freebody is so clean,
you can't see any signs of the hub actually being used.
Built it up.
Since it's an XR200 rim, it's Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5.
Built it with all Campagnolo, 48-hole, Italian-laced with cross-three.
The reason I keep writing "Italian-laced" specifically
is because I'm feeling pretty smug about taking a hub that was laced non-Italian and converting it to Italian-laced. Hehehehe.
The previous lacing pattern on this hub wasn't reverse-Italian or JIS,
but actually an extremely rare reverse-JIS lacing pattern.
You can tell from the build marks in the flange holes.
Since it has larger flanges than a G3 hub, the interference
between the outpoke heads and the inpokes isn't too bad.
Like I always say, a polished silver hub—it's just so nice.
