Not a wheel I built today.
※On my day off, I built a wheel (and what's wrong with that?).
I decided to rebuild the rear wheel with the W freewheel hub.
The hub had started making an unpleasant noise,
but that's within expected parameters, so it's not a big deal.
Both sides have 10-speed sprockets — one 14-25T and the other 12-30T.
The image shows a quick release attached,
but without the quick release, with rim tape (21g), and sprockets on both sides,
the weight without tire and tube is
this.
Disassembled it.
I'm going to do some work to eliminate the hub noise.
I only recently came up with the idea, so I'd been leaving it alone until now.
Built it.
32 holes, all CX-RAY, reverse 88 JIS lacing with spoke joining.
The 16 connection points were quite tedious.
There's a reason it's not JIS lacing, but I can't write about it.
No longer need to cover the center of the hub.
The noise while riding has completely disappeared,
but spoke selection and lacing method are separate from hub noise,
so if the hub treatment didn't work out, the CX-RAY
(retail value around ¥10,000) could have been wasted,
so I was pretty nervous about it.
I could have used Shimano Aerospatiale (star) aero SB3 spokes,
but I was reluctant to use a discontinued product on such a trivial job,
so I didn't use them this time.
