Another wheel day (and so on).
I built the rear wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #2.
It's a Reaf hub 24H, semi-comp 4-cross lacing with direct spoking.
I was going to build the front wheel next, but...
This wheel's serial number starts with 13.
From what I've observed, the oldest one is around 08,
which most likely (I'm quite confident about this)
indicates the last two digits of 20XX year.
So this one is from 2013.
Meanwhile, all the other rims in our shop inventory start with 14,
meaning they're from 2014.
That wouldn't be a big deal by itself, but...
The rim for Nomu Lab Wheel #2
is an Equinox WH-007 rim.
But looking at the rims starting with 14, they've been changed to the WH-108 model.
The rim width and such are the same, but...
↑WH-007
↑WH-108
The reinforcement around the valve hole is different.
There's no particular difference in wheel performance between them,
but since I dislike having rims with different specs mixed front and rear,
I'll build a separate matched pair of Nomu Lab Wheel #2.
Though not today.
