Another day of wheel building (and so on).
I built the rear wheel for the Nomu Lab Wheel 2.5.
I was told to build it stiff—even stiffer than feels right—
so I did exactly as instructed.
Evolight hub 28H, half-competition four-cross lacing with bracing.
In the opening photo, you can see a Lightweight wheel,
but the rim buckled and bulged, so it's become unusable.
I built this Nomu Lab Wheel 2.5 as a replacement.
Neither my customer nor I expect it to match the performance,
and whether we buy another Lightweight rear wheel in the future is a separate matter—
but for getting by in the meantime, this will do just fine.
Once we transfer the tire and sprocket over,
I've been told I can do whatever I want with the old wheel.
