It looks like a pair with the front wheel from earlier, but they're actually unrelated.

A customer brought in the rear wheel from their Nomu Lab Wheel #1 (a custom wheel-building brand).
This is what it was originally (→here).
There was suspicion the rim got bent from a crash,
and sure enough, when I took it apart there was a slight warp.
All the spokes were fine, so I reused them.
I replaced all the nipples though.


In the middle of swapping out the rim...


Before rebuilding, I didn't braid the spokes on the freewheel side, but

after rebuilding, I decided to braid them this time.
Like I mentioned when I built this before,
the crossing points make that scratchy noise again.


All built up.


At the customer's request, I wrapped the spokes with black tape.
Ha! Now it's transformed.
