Another wheel day (and so on).
Nomu Lab Wheel #5 with the PowerTap G3 hub had a significant lateral wobble in one spot, so I disassembled it.
I checked the rim alone for runout, but it didn't look bent.
However, when I fully replaced the spokes and started the trial build,
I saw a similar pattern of wobble — not quite as pronounced as before disassembly,
but similar enough that I decided to replace the rim.
I probably could've assembled it as-is and gotten something usable,
but since I can't say I'm completely confident in it, I'm doing the replacement.
Rim relocation in progress...
Everything except the hub got replaced.
Built.
28H, half-competition four-cross laced with hub connections.
