A customer brought in a set of wheels called Racing 3.5 for work.
This is an OEM product assembled into complete bikes.
As a general rule, it's not sold individually.
Unless of course you happen to spot it on some site and order it
Both wheels were perfectly centered,
so I only needed to do a bit of minor truing.
↑Freewheel side
↑Non-freewheel side
Interestingly, this wheel set uses a 2:1 build with different spoke counts for left and right sides.
Nice. I'd love to get the numbers on this.
It saved me the hassle of building something similar myself.
(Not that I haven't done that kind of thing before, but more samples are always welcome)
Based on the hub bearing specs and other details,
despite being called "Racing 3.5," the specs lean more toward Racing 5.
Update: Thanks to a comment I received,
apparently the rim is Racing 3 and the hub is Racing 5.
Thank you for that.
So if the rim were Racing 5 and the hub were Racing 3,
that would make it Racing 5.3 (possibly CULT-able).
