A customer brought in the rear wheel of a Nomu Lab Wheel No. 5 for me to work on.
It's a Leaf hub 24H, half-competition laced 4-cross with connectors.
They wanted me to swap out the competition spokes on the freewheel side
and replace them with Champion spokes.
↑I disassembled only the spokes on the freewheel side.
All built up.
↑Before the swap (half-competition)
The spokes are butted slightly beyond the final crossing point.
↑After the swap (half-champion)
Since I didn't completely disassemble the wheel,
by my own arbitrary definition, this work doesn't qualify as wheel building,
so today won't count toward the wheel tally either.
Not that it matters or anything.
