More wheels today (and so on...).
I built a wheel using the rim from yesterday's build as donor parts,
with an internal nipple XR300 rim.
The front wheel is a Black Hub 20H CX-RAY reverse non-spoke radial build,
and the rear wheel is a Black Hub 24H semi-comp 3-cross build with crossing pattern.
Regarding yesterday's wheel, for the rear wheel I suggested not fixating on using an ExtraLight hub—
what about something like this? If rigidity is the priority, this would probably be the optimal solution.
But since that project was specifically about building the lightest possible wheel, my proposal was rejected.
For this wheel, they asked me to build it as a rough equivalent to "Nomu Lab Wheel #1,"
letting me do it my way. So I built it the way I thought best. Hehe.
↑ Internal nipple specification.
In almost every aspect except for the rim weight and the front hub flange width,
I believe this one is superior to yesterday's wheel.
Give it a try.
Regarding yesterday's rear wheel—if it had been built with a universal hub instead of one specific to straight-spoke spec equivalent to 3-cross,
what would have happened? Well, I got the chance to find that answer.
More to follow later.
