Nomu Lab Wheel

Built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1 The Origin

Another day of wheel building (and so on).

I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel No. 1 The Origin.
It's the counterpart to yesterday's 28H rear wheel.

Evo hub 24H CX-RAY outpoke radial lacing (※).
The customer's request wasn't really about the "parts specs"—
it was about the "visual impression once assembled,"
so I went ahead and did what I thought would work best.
The original plan was Evo Lite hub 20H inpoke radial lacing, but
during that severe rainstorm when I got struck by lightning, this idea suddenly flashed into my head.

※I had written "inpoke radial lacing" for about a week after posting this article.
I received two comments pointing out the mistake.
Thank you for that.
I think this blog has relatively few typos or omissions,
but I've dropped that "outpoke" character at least five times before.


I don't hold a negative image of Evo hubs.
Whether front or rear, there are subtle differences,
but Evo hubs do have some advantages.
(The front hub has a larger-diameter shaft than the Evo Lite,
and the rear hub has wider flanges than the Evo Lite.)

But since I'm deliberately choosing an older model product,
I do feel a certain... hesitation about it,
so by throwing the word "The Origin" on there
I'm hoping nobody figures out what I'm really up to. Hehehehe.
