Built a wheel on my day off (and so on).
Strictly speaking, I didn't build it on my day off but outside work hours.
For a while now I've been using a のむラボ wheel #4 as my daily rear wheel,
but that was a prototype I was planning to hand over to a certain customer eventually.
The other night that person came by,
so I fixed the centering and swapped out the bearings before handing it over,
and because I urgently needed a replacement rear wheel, that's why I built this one.
About the centering correction.
To verify the phenomenon of "the rim drifting toward the freewheel side over years of use,"
I deliberately built it with the rim shifted about one sheet of paper toward the non-freewheel side,
but when I removed the tire and checked, the rim had drifted past center toward the freewheel side.
During this time (about a year), I hadn't done any truing,
and when I removed the tire there was almost no lateral runout.
The rim is an EDGE 1-65, but the rim marking says 1.68.
Black hub 24H in a 46-spoke pattern,
Since the flange holes have slots, I went with semi-CX spokes.
I'd written a post with the same title before (→here)
What surprised me looking back at the old post was
"the wallpaper in the shooting location isn't dirty."
I think it's probably because work called "～san wheel inspections" has increased,
and I've been leaning more dirty wheels against the wall.
