Today it's wheels again (and so on).
I built the front wheel for Nomu Lab Wheel #4.
The hub is a 7700 Dura-Ace 24H.
CX-RAY spokes laced radial, but
I'm well aware that 7700 hubs are prohibited from radial lacing.
The OK ones start from the later model 5501 hub variant of the 5500 hub from 7700-era 105,
the HB-5501A.
The nipple colors are distributed in groups of 8:
purple
green
blue. Since it was 20H, you can't divide 3 colors evenly, so I think they chose 4 colors with 5 nipples each.
