Nomu Lab Wheel

Nomu Lab Wheel #5! (Part 2)

Said I'd do it another day, but I managed to build it today so here's the rest.

Got the rear wheel built too.
Usually I'm out here saying things like "is CX-RAY really the answer for everything?"
but I built the whole thing with CX-RAY spokes.
With 32H, you do what you gotta do to get that "feather-light feel."

46-lace Italian pattern.
32H tangential is 8-lace, so 48-lace was possible too,
but I had my reasons for going 46.
With the non-drive side in radial lacing—that's 40-lace—versus 48-lace,
naturally the 40-lace is lighter with shorter spokes,
but when I calculated the weight difference between 16H radial and 8-lace on the non-drive side,
it came to 5.61 grams,
so 48-lace isn't really at a weight disadvantage.
I went with 46-lace for different reasons.

Just for the record. In that last photo, both sides have inpokes pointing porcupine-direction.
It's an Italian pattern, but it's right-hand drive. Watch out for that.

Built it at 775 grams! Pretty light, I'd say.
If I use that phrasing I hate—"front and rear ○○○○g"—
front and rear 1380g total.
Pricing is front wheel ¥21,000 · rear wheel ¥28,000.
With this spec, we're locked in on Nomu Lab Wheel #5!
That's all from me.

Yep. That's it. From me.

Hey!
Don't go making dodgy comparisons using methods that won't show up in internet searches!
And don't say stuff you shouldn't!
You're gonna get deleted again, buddy.
