Another day, another wheel build (and so on).
I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #5.
Rigida hub 20H, black CX-RAY outpoke radial laced with red alloy nipples.
I was planning to build the rear wheel too, but I ran out of black complete spokes so that didn't happen.
The wholesaler has them in stock though.
I often run short on black CX-RAY, but this is probably the first time I've actually been unable to build a wheel because I ran out of black complete spokes.
I thought we still had plenty, but lately we've been doing a lot of half-complete black spoke builds, so they've been disappearing rapidly.
So I built a different customer's front wheel instead.
The hub is an old Evo hub 24H, laced with CX-RAY in outpoke radial pattern.
This hub was brought in by a customer, but looking at the flange holes, there are traces of it having been previously laced tangent.
It's pretty much impossible to mix it up with our own stock, but
just to be safe, I went ahead and put a customer-supplied sticker on it.
