Another day with wheels (and so on).

Built the rear wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 3.
These rims are supplied as 20H for the front and 24H for the rear,
but the 24H tends to create a rear wheel that's too stiff,
so I often build the rear wheel with 20H as well.
With a rim depth like this, the front wheel could actually use even fewer spokes, but...
(I think around 18H would be better with nipple-head spokes)

Today's build is 24H.
I used an EvoLite hub with a semi-comp four-cross lacing pattern.
With this spec—I probably write this almost every time—
but spoke tying shouldn't really be necessary.
Even when I squeeze the spoke crossings, they barely deform,
so spoke tying and soldering loses its purpose since there's minimal deformation to control in the crossings.
But I did it anyway since that's what the customer wanted.
